Global migration dynamics underlie evolution and persistence of human influenza A (H3N2).

The global migration patterns of influenza viruses have profound implications for the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of the disease. We developed a novel approach to reconstruct the genetic history of human influenza A (H3N2) collected worldwide over 1998 to 2009 and used it to infer the...

Consistent with previous models, we find that China and Southeast Asia lie at the center of this global network.
