Figure 1

Genotype and reassortment analyses based on full-length genome sequences of avian influenza viruses in Egypt previously detected and those identified in this study. Colors indicate grouping of segment origin according to phylogenetic analyses (Appendix 1 Figure): highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 2.2.1.2 virus from Egypt (black); H9N2 subtype from Egypt circulating in chickens since 2010 (gray); H9N2 subtype from Egypt first detected in pigeons in 2014 (red); HPAI H5N8 viruses previo
