Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of the hemagglutinin (HA) genes of clade 2.3.2.1 highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses with A/Alberta/01/2014 (GISAID accession no. EPI500771). The avian influenza A(H5N1) virus detected in Canada is underlined. The nearest reassortant World Health Organization candidate vaccine viruses (CVV) for each group of clade 2.3.2.1 are denoted by CVV. Asterisks indicated viruses collected in 2012–2014. Amino acid differences at branch nodes indicate HA1 sub
