Figure 1

Histogram showing distribution of nucleotide pairwise (p) distances in the medium segment of Toscana virus. p distances are for nucleotides; frequencies are for intervals of 0.01. Validity of this method was confirmed by analysis of variance, comparing the scores of sequence comparisons within genotypes to those between genotypes. Black bars indicate intralineage distribution; white bars indicate interlineage distribution.
