Genetic analysis of influenza A/H1N1 of swine origin virus (SOIV) circulating in Central and South America

Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2010 Sep;83(3):708-10. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.2010.09-0757.

Abstract

Since the first detection of swine origin virus (SOIV) on March 28, 2009, the virus has spread worldwide and oseltamivir-resistant strains have already been identified in the past months. Here, we show the phylogenetic analysis of 63 SOIV isolates from eight countries in Central and South America, and their sensitivity to oseltamivir.
