  1. Subtypes previously reported in humans (regardless of their true zoonotic potential) are in bold.
  2. a For unique variants identified in Spain and Portugal, two sequences were submitted to GenBank. The country in which the sequences were identified is denoted in parentheses by the GenBank accession number. P and S denote Portugal and Spain, respectively.
