Novel reassortant virus (A/Vietnam/14011801/2014) identified in a human case of influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Vietnam, 2014. Ancestry of genes is denoted in the hemagglutinin clades. Arrows indicate genes that differ from the gene lineages of original clade 2.3.2.1c viruses. Colors indicate ancestry of each gene: green, clade 1.1; red, clade 2.3.2.1a; purple, 2.3.2.1b; and blue, clade 2.3.2.1c.
