Phylogenetic tree of 79 WNV isolates by the neighbor-joining method and distance-p model on MEGA3.1 (www.megasoftware.net/mega_dos.html). Bootstrap values correspond to 1,000 replications. A) Analysis of a 1,813-nt fragment of the nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) gene. B) Analysis of the 800-nt fragment of the NS5 gene. KOUV (strain DakArD1470, AF013384) and Malaysia (strain KUN MP502–66, GU047874) (boldface) were also used to obtain this tree. Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
