Figure 2. Putative genomic compositions of novel influenza A(H5N8) viruses isolated from poultry, eastern China, 2013, and their 3 possible parent virusesThe 8 gene segments (from top to bottom) in each virus are basic polymerase 2, basic polymerase 1, acidic polymerase, hemagglutinin, nucleoprotein, neuramindase, matrix, and nonstructural proteinEach color represents a separate virus background: purple indicates Hunan/8-19 (H4N2); A/duck/Hunan/8–19/2009(H4N2); blue indicates k1203 (H5N8), A/duck/Jiangsu/k1203/2010(H5N8); and yellow indicates Jiangxi/28 (H11N9), A/environment/Jiangxi/28/2009(H11N9)The simplified schematic illustration is based on nucleotide-distance comparison and phylogenetic analysis.
