Figure 1

Data are based on references cited in Table 2, as well as others with subtype B data [41,141–150]. Colors indicate predominate subtype(s) in a given region based on those studies and do not necessarily include all subtypes epidemiologically reported from that region. Subtypes referred to as ‘other’ indicate numerous recombinant forms and/or a low prevalence of other subtypes. *Reports of subtypes from these regions are limited. Current data suggest existence of many different subtypes and recombinant forms with no specific predominating species. CRF: Circulating recombinant form.
