Community transmission of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in China

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2010 Sep;31(9):961-3. doi: 10.1086/655020.

Abstract

Prophylaxis and treatment with oseltamivir effectively controlled a community outbreak of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in China. The genetic makeup of strains of different generations seemed to be stable. Travel in confined settings might accelerate the transmission of pandemic influenza in a community outbreak.
