Abstract
An explosive epidemic occurred in Madeira Island (Portugal) from October 2012 to February 2013.

We aim to determine the origin of the strain introduced to Madeira by travellers returning to Europe. Using phylogeographic analysis and complete envelope sequences we have demonstrated that the most probable origin of the strain is Venezuela.
