Figure 2. Chord diagram of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b genotype D1.1 virus across flyway regions, North America, fall 2024. The diagram shows the magnitude of transitions between flyway regions on the basis of the recorded Markov jumps from the posterior distribution of phylodynamic trees. The diagram represents sequences from 300 taxa collected during October 2024–March 2025.
