Is it that difficult? With all the interstate commerce, seems like it would be pretty easy for mosquitos to hitch a ride inside a container or even someone's car trunk. But my guess is some kind of mixing of the disease in Mexico/Central America, passed via bird flyways and migration. Don't eastern and western flyways mix down there?

I was talking about this possibility the other day, and that was my best gues as to how the virus might head West.

A London airport worker was believed to have gotten Malaria (last week) from a mosquito stowed away on a jet.

Or the virus travelled with some person who didn't even know they were infected possibly travelling from Illinois to California. A human could carry the disease from one city to another very easily, then be bit by a mosquito which then bites another human or bird.
