According to a WHO spokeswoman, the A/H1N1 influenza, which was declared as a pandemic in June, "appears to have peaked and is now in decline" in some countries in the southern hemisphere, including Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand.

But the spread of the virus is still being seen in many of the tropical countries and in Asia, particularly in India, Thailand and Vietnam.
