Figure

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of the hemagglutinin gene segment of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) viruses from West Africa. Strain colors indicate country of collection (inset). The 2 identified groups (WA1 and WA2) are indicated by boxes (black and gray, respectively). Clades are indicated at right; sequences from the 2006–2008 epidemic (clade 2.2) in West Africa were used as an outgroup. Numbers at the nodes represent bootstrap values >60%, obtained through a nonparametric
