Eighth Major Clade for Hepatitis Delta Virus
Figure 1

Figure 1. Percent similarity between hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genotypes calculated from complete and small hepatitis delta (sHD) nucleotide sequences. Above the oblique line are represented scores of similarity obtained from alignment and comparison of 49 sHD nucleotide sequences including 13 HDV-1 sequences, 7 HDV-2, 7 HDV-3, 6 HDV-4, 6 HDV-5, 4 HDV-6, 3 HDV-7, and 3 HDV-8. Below the oblique line are represented scores of similarity obtained from alignment and comparison of 44 complete nucleotide sequences including 13 HDV-1 sequences, 7 HDV-2, 4 HDV-3, 6 HDV-4, 6 HDV-5, 3 HDV-6, 2 HDV-7, and 3 HDV-8. Gray cells show the similarities within each genotype.
