Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated full genome sequences of clade 2.3.4.4b genotype D1.1 detections in wild birds, poultry, and a human from a study of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) in wild birds and a human (arrow), British Columbia, Canada, 2024. Data drawn from detections during October 3–November 8, 2024. Tree is plotted based on divergence and rooted to a composite D1.1 reference sequence assembled from D1.1 segments obtained from the GenoFLU Version 1.0.5 database (https://github.com/USDA-VS/GenoFLU/).
