Figure 2

Phylogenetic analysis of sequences of nucleoprotein genes (450 nucleotides) of wildtype measles viruses isolated in Uganda during 2000–2002. The unrooted tree shows sequences from Ugandan viruses compared with World Health Organization reference strains for each genotype. Genotype designation is in bold.
