Abstract

In 2009 Swine flu epidemic claimed significant number of the population globally. In this Article, we investigate the 2009 pH1N1 genetic sequences to track how and where the virus originated and spread from Mexico to USA and internationally. The PB2 gene on segment 1 of 8 segments was chosen as the baseline. Sequence alignment and Phylogeny of the segment was divided to two clades and evaluated. Based on our analysis, the gene sequences did reveal the origin of 2009 pH1N1 to Mexico with subsequent mutations as the virus spread globally.
