Figure 2

Putative genomic compositions of novel influenza A(H5N8) viruses isolated from poultry, eastern China, 2013, and their 3 possible parent viruses. The 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 protein. Each 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/Jian
