  1. The ‘Tip’ epitope of the HA protein is the main neutralising epitope of viruses belonging to the Victoria lineage. Specimens listed under B Yamagata 16 88 belong to the Yamagata lineage while specimens listed under B Victoria 2 87 belong to the Victoria lineage. DSO Victoria: specimens sequenced in this study belonging to the Victoria lineage. Identical amino acids are marked by a dot (.) and deletions are denoted by a dash (−).
