Nearest-neighbor relatedness of rhinovirus CL-013775 (and CL-073908) along the 5′ untranslated region/VP4/VP2 region (A), and nearest-neighbor relatedness of rhinovirus CL-135587 along the complete genome (B), identified by bootscanning. At each position of a sliding window, the solid circles indicate the closest relative within a defined threshold of the phylogenetic distance to CL-013775 (A) and CL-135587 (B). Both panels show phylogenetic trees of analyzed serotypes over the entire scanned re

Figure 3. Nearest-neighbor relatedness of rhinovirus CL-013775 (and CL-073908) along the 5′ untranslated region/VP4/VP2 region (A), and nearest-neighbor relatedness of rhinovirus CL-135587 along the complete genome (B), identified by bootscanning. At each position of a sliding window, the solid circles indicate the closest relative within a defined threshold of the phylogenetic distance to CL-013775 (A) and CL-135587 (B). Both panels show phylogenetic trees of analyzed serotypes over the entire scanned region. Human rhinovirus 7 (HRV-7), -9, -10, -11, -24, -32 (accession nos. EU096019, AF343584), -36, -39, -44, -56, -58 (EU096045, AY040236), -59, -67 (EU096054, AF343603, and DQ473505), -76, -88, and -89 sequences were obtained from GenBank (see Technical Appendix 2 Figure 1, for full-length genome accession numbers).
