. Phylogram of 2 West Nile viruses (WNV) isolated from a mosquito pool and human serum in Mexico (shown in ). The phylogenetic tree was generated by Bayesian analysis of a 2004-nucleotide region of the prM and E genes of 40 WNV isolates rooted by the most closely related Old World strain, Israel 1998. Bayesian confidence values are shown to provide statistical support for each clade.
