Re: Arizona: 49 Confirmed cases May 6th
do we have the case history of the
8,male,22.Apr. , A/Arizona/01/2009(H1N1)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/229536021?report=genbank
2 differences to the index-strain, 49% of nucleotides available at genbank
--> calculated origin (MRCAD) in ~early April !
11,female,26.Apr. , A/Arizona/02/2009(H1N1)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/229536039?report=genbank
7 differences to the index-strain, 77% of nucleotides available at genbank
--> calculated origin (MRCAD) in ~mid March
did they come from Mexico , eat Mexican pork , had gastrointestinal symptoms ?
The strains looks like the Mexican squences, few mutations,
but some segments are missing at genbank
is the virus in Arizona more virulent, more like Mexico than New York,California,Texas ?
