Figure 2. Maximum likelihood phylogeny of hemagglutinin sequences of influenza A(H3N2) viruses from Peru and other global locations, rooted on the oldest available sequence (A/Hong Kong/CUHK52390/2004). Clades containing strains from Peru and a neighboring country are indicated by the letters a–c, designating Bolivia (a), Chile (b), and Ecuador (c). The letter d indicates phylogenetic evidence of migration from Peru to North America, with onward transmission after seeding that region. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
