Figure. Phylogenetic comparison of human West Nile virus isolates from the Israel 2000 outbreak with sequences from the EMBL/GenBank database. The PHYLIP DNA Maximum Likelihood program (bootstrap = 100) was used to compare a 1,648-nt sequence encoding the PreM, M gene, and part of the E gene from the four human outbreak isolates with nine sequences from the EMBL/GenBank database (accession numbers in parentheses and one from a 1999 isolate from an Israeli White-eyed Gull. CSF = cerebrospinal fluid sample.
