Phylogenetic analysis of the HA (a) and NA (b) gene segments of A/turkey/Egypt/AR1507/2016 to other related H5N1 viruses in poultry and humans. Phylogenetic analysis of the HA (a) and NA (b) genes of Egyptian viruses showing different genetic clades. Viruses in 2015 from Egypt, Gaza and Israel are clustered in clade 2.2.1.2 in three distinct subclades denoted A, B and C. A/turkey/Egypt/AR1507/2016 is located in subclade A along with recent viruses isolated in 2014 and 2015 in poultry in Egypt, Gaza and Israel. Subclade B represents viruses of human and poultry origin in 2014/2015, and subclade C contains viruses from poultry origin in Egypt in 2015 (Salaheldin et al., 2017).
