Figure 2

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of influenza A virus subtype H10 hemagglutinin gene from an adult male harbor seal, British Columbia, Canada (red text), and reference sequences. Phylogenetic analyses were based on the full-length nucleotide sequence of the hemagglutinin gene of strains representing the H10 subtype (n = 1,512). The evolutionary relationship was inferred using RAxML (https://github.com/stamatak/standard-RAxML) based on the general time-reversible model with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. For purposes of clarity, some clades are collapsed, and colors are assigned to indicate the origin of the gene: blue for North America, green for Asia, and yellow for Europe. The tree was drawn to scale; branch lengths are measured in number of substitutions per site.
