Phylogenetic relationships of 67 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses (PRRSVs) based on their whole-genome sequences. The unrooted phylogenetic tree was generated by the neighbor-joining method using Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis 4 (5). Bootstrap values were calculated on 1,000 replicates. The 53 isolates from China were classified into 4 subgroups (circled). Four commercially available attenuated live vaccine viruses are marked with asterisks. MLV, modified live vacc
