Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 60 specimens of rabies virus (RABV) from the People’s Republic of China, 2005–2007, and different genotypes (GTs) from other areas based on a 720-nt (nt 704–nt 1423) nucleoprotein (N) gene fragment of RABV. Numbers at each node indicate degree of bootstrap support; only those with support >70% are indicated. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
