Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree of the HA gene segment of Singaporean specimens isolated from 2004 to 2009. The HA sequences of these specimens were aligned together with the HA gene segments of B/Lee/40, B/Yamagata/16/88, B/Victoria/2/87, the vaccine strains from 2004–2013 (Table 1) and the HA gene segments of Singaporean strains isolated in 1964, 1979, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2010 and 2011. Representative strains of influenza B from countries within SEA, such as Hong Kong, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Myanmar, isolated post 2000 available from GenBank were included in this alignment as well. Lineages were marked by the labelled brackets.
