Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree showing relationship of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from dromedary camel, Nigeria, January 2016 (red circle), relative to other influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses from humans worldwide on the basis of the hemagglutinin gene. Tree was constructed by using a general time-reversible model with FastTree (https://www.geneious.com/plugins/fasttree-plugin) and PhyML (http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/phyml) (Appendix,). Tree is rooted with an influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus
