Phylogenetic analysis of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses isolated from poultry in Ghana in 2015: A) hemagglutinin; B) polymerase basic protein 2. Viruses sequenced for this study are in red and reference viruses are in blue; other sequences were downloaded from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (http://platform.gisaid.org) and GenBank databases.
