Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree constructed using the neighbor-joining algorithm based on nucleic acid sequence data encompassing the 3 end of the NS5 gene and 5' end of the 3 UTR untranslated region). Numbers above branches indicate average percentage nucleotide similarity between limbs, while the values in italics indicate the percentage bootstrap confidence levels. Isolates highlighted in bold are sequences obtained in this study. Dendrogram outgrouped with the JE isolate, JaOArS982 (30; GenBank Accession Number M18370).
