Possible reassortment patterns of A/Hunan/55555/2016 (H5N6, HN555) and A/Guangxi/55726/2016 (H5N6, GX726) viruses. Colored ovals represent influenza virus particles. Eight horizontal bars in ovals represent the gene segments PB2, PB1, PA, HA, NP, NA, M and NS. Segments in descendant viruses are colored according to their corresponding source virus to illustrate gene ancestry through reassortment events. A broken bar in segment 6 (NA) indicates a stalk region deletion.
