Phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin (A) and neuraminidase genes (B) of influenza virus (H5N1) isolates. Phylogenetic trees were generated by using the PAUP computer program (4) and applying the neighbor-joining algorithm with branch swapping and bootstrap analysis with 1,000 replicates. The trees were rooted to A/goose/China/Guangdong/1/96 (H5N1).
