Title

Phylogenetic Tree for Influenza B Viruses, 1969

Description

The relative differences between groups of influenza viruses can be visually seen on a "phylogenetic tree." Phylogenetic trees for influenza viruses are like family trees for people. These trees show how closely "related" viruses are to one another. This tree was created in 1969 to show how closesly related certain influenza B viruses were to one another.
