Figure

Phylogenetic tree constructed from nucleotide sequences of the structural viral protein 1 gene of the strains studied and reference human parechovirus (HPeV) strains with 500 bootstrap repetitions. Percentage bootstrap values >70% are shown at the branch nodes. The studied HPeV strains are in boldface; their nucleotide sequences have been deposited in GenBank under accession nos. GQ402515 and GQ402516. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
