Neighbor-joining tree for 500 bp of nucleoprotein gene sequence for 38 rabies virus samples from India, as described in the Table, using the CVS sequence as an out-group. The sequence window used corresponded to positions 279 to 778 of the CVS reference sequence. Bootstrap values >65% for 1,000 resamplings of the data are shown on branches to the right of the corresponding sample clusters. The 2 main Indian clusters identified by this analysis (IN-1 and IN-2) are indicated to the right of the
