*HA, hemagglutinin; NA, neuraminidase; πS, synonymous nucleotide diversity; πN, nonsynonymous nucleotide diversity. There was a significant difference (p<0.001) between πS and πN in all cases except HA of pandemic (H1N1) 2009.
†Significant difference between πS or πN in NA and corresponding value in HA (z-test; p<0.001).
