Figure 2

Phylogeographic tree of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses. Taxa are colored according to their country of origin, and countries are arranged in geographic order from east to west. Arrows indicate viral genomes during 2021 and 2022 in Iceland and assigned to different hemagglutinin clusters B1 and B2. Method hints and basic data are presented in Hassan et al. (13). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
