Figure 1. Formation of 2 representatives of avian influenza (H5N1) virus from China. Viral particles are represented by colored ovals containing horizontal bars representing the 8 gene segments (from top to bottom: PB2, PB1, PA, HA, NP, NA, M, and NS). Gene segments of the reassortants are colored according to their corresponding source virus. HA, hemagglutinin; LPAIV, low pathogenicity avian influenza virus; M, matrix; NA, neuraminidase; NP, nucleoprotein; NS, nonstructural protein; PA, polymerase acidic; PB, polymerase basic.
