  1. V: Venezuela; Br: Brazil; LA: Other Latin-American countries (Brazil, Chile, Colombia and/or Argentina); U: USA; Asia: China, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Numbers in bold refer to mutations found at higher frequency compared to other genotypes or locations. P: Statistical significance of prevalence of mutations in isolates from Venezuela compared to Brazil (for Q309R and D310N) and from Venezuela and Latin America compared to Asia (C316N).
