a

Sequence data were obtained from the Influenza Information Resources of the WHO (http://www.who.int/influenza/resources).

b

B, basic residue R/K. The sequences of more than 80% of the strains in the P5 to P2 positions were R-R-K-K-.

c

Number of isolates possessing a specific amino acid at position P6 (proportion of isolates with a specific amino acid at position P6 in the H5N1 virus of the corresponding H5N1 clade in the Influenza Information Resources of the WHO database).
