Phylogenetic tree of the hemagglutinin (A) and neuraminidase (B) genes of influenza A(H7N9) virusesMultiple alignments were constructed by using the MUSCLE algorithm of MEGA software version 5.10 (www.megasoftware.net)Phylogenetic trees were constructed by using the neighbor-joining method with bootstrap analyses of 1,000 replicationsBootstrap values >60% are shown in the nodesSequences of human influenza A(H7N9) viruses are shown in purple, novel subtype H7N9 viruses from poultry (chickens, ducks, and pigeons) in blue, novel subtype H7N9 viruses from the environment in green, and novel subtype H7N9 viruses from wild birds in redScale bar indicates base substitutions per site.
