*Kilbourne F181 genomic RNA was obtained from BEI Resources (https://www.beiresources.org). Am-non-Gs/GD A(H5) genomic RNA was obtained from the US Department of Agriculture. The genomic RNA from these influenza A(H5) viruses was diluted 1:10 buffer AVE plus carrier RNA (QIAGEN, https://www.qiagen.com) and tested in duplicate. Ct values are means. Am-non-Gs/Gd, non-goose/GuangDong from the United States; Ct, cycle threshold; EA-non-Gs/Gd, Eurasian non-goose/GuangDong; M, matrix gene; NA, not available.
