Phylogenetic analysis of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) isolates from Taiwan, 2009–2010. The phylogenetic tree construction was based on full-length envelope protein sequences by using the neighbor-joining method. JEV isolates obtained in this study are indicated in red, and isolates obtained by the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control are indicated in blue (9). Bootstrap values >700 are shown (1,000 replicates). Scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site.
