Full-length sequences obtained in this study (2^nd generation sequencing) are compared with the sequences of A/red-necked stint/Australia/1/04 (GenBank accession numbers CY077632 to CY77640).

Identity in nucleotide and amino acid (in parenthesis).

Amino acid similarity was compared for the M₁ protein.
