RESULTS: Analysis of the constructed transmission tree shows that the simultaneous presence of the two influenza viruses increases the infectivity and the transmissibility of A/H1N1 virus but whether it changes the infectivity of A/H3N2 is unclear. In this short report we extend this inference method to construct the transmission tree that includes two influenza A viruses and their co-infection. The likely reason for this difference lies in the fact that pandemic A/H1N1 is a novel virus while A/ H3N2 is an endemic seasonal virus in the study region [12] so some pre-existing immunity against A/H3N2 Fig. 2 Constructed transmission tree of influenza A virus: a The relative frequency of the generation intervals; b The average case reproduction number R t as it varies with time. ./cache/cord-001922-zfpg6dgj.txt ./txt/cord-001922-zfpg6dgj.txt
