The genotypic evolution of H4N6 AIVs in China from 2000 to 2016.

Abstract

<p>The eight gene segments listed are (top to bottom): PB2, PB1, PA, HA, NP, NA, M, and NS genes. The colors of the eight gene segments of the first isolate (A/duck/Nanchang/4-165/2000) were defined to be the same, and a new color represent a different lineage from this strain. The abbreviation of virus which possessed the corresponding genotype are listed below the genotype. The gene constellation for different genotypes, the viruses that possessed these, and the abbreviation of virus name are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0184437#pone.0184437.s002" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>.</p
