Phylogenetic analysis of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) isolated from Jordan (Jordan-1-2015; boldface) compared with reference strains. Genome sequences of representative isolates were aligned by using ClustalW, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed by using the PhyML method in Seaview 4 (http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/software/seaview); the tree was visualized by using FigTree version 1.3.1 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree). Values at branches show the result of
