  Fig. 1.. Schematic of AiV-A based on the sequence from GenBank AB040749. The target regions of the 3C–3D RT-PCR, VP1 RT-hnPCR and AiV RT-rPCR are underlined. UTR, untranslated region; L, non-structural leader protein; VP0, VP3 and VP1, structural viral proteins, P1; 2A, 2B and 2C,non-structural proteins, P2; 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D, non-structural proteins, P3.

  Fig. 2.. Phylogenetic analysis of 477 bp sequences in the 3C–3D junction region of AiV-A. Strains marked with a blue diamond relate to this study. MG200054 is the first detected Australian AiV-A (red triangle). JQ792240–JQ792249, MG200055–MG200058 and MK830033–MK830037 were the sequences detected in the May 2008 study. Note: a 477 bp fragment was analysed to accommodate the shorter genotype C GenBank sequences.

  Fig. 3.. Phylogenetic analysis of 641 bp sequences in the VP1 region of AiV-A. Strains marked with a diamond relate to this study. MG200054 is the first detected Australian AiV-A (red triangle). Sequences MG237919, MG253822–5 and MK799849–MK799850 were the sequences detected in May 2008.
