Figure. Phylogenetic tree comparing Zika virus isolate from a patient in Indonesia (ID/JMB-185/2014; arrow) to reference strains from GenBank (accession numbers indicated). The tree was constructed from nucleic acid sequences of 530 bp from the nonstructural protein 5 region by using the minimum evolution algorithm in MEGA 6 (http://www.megasoftware.net). Numbers to the left of the nodes are bootstrap percentages (2,000 replications). Bootstrap values <70 are not shown. The tree was rooted with the Spondweni virus isolated in South Africa as the outgroup. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
