Phylogenetic analysis of AGV2. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by using the neighbor-joining method (1,000 bootstraps) with MEGA6 (9). Black squares indicate the 10 AGV2 identified from live poultry markets; black triangles indicate the 2 AGV2 identifed from human blood; black dot indicates the prototype AGV2 sequence. Sequences and GenBank accession nos.: AGV2–2014YZ01, KP993124; AGV2–2014YZ03, KP993125; AGV2–2014YZ04, KP993126; AGV2–2014YZ05, KP993127; AGV2–2014YZ07, KP993128; AGV2–2014Y
