Porcine Kobuvirus in Piglets, Thailand
Figure

Figure. Phylogenetic analysis of the partial nucleotide sequence encoding the 3D region of porcine kobuviruses (in boldface) isolated in Thailand, 2001–2003, and other reference strains. The tree was generated on the basis of the neighbor-joining method by using the MEGA4 program (10). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
