Appendix Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree of isolates described in the text with 65 full-length H7 HA gene segments present in GenBank. The tree was generated with nucleotide sequences by the neighbor-joining method in Bonsai (1.1.4.) (http://calliope.gs.washington.edu/software/). Corrected distance estimate is indicated by the scale bar. The H7N3 avian influenza isolates reported in this article are at the bottom of the tree.
