Main Article

Figure 4

Identification of a novel primate T-lymphotropic virus (PTLV) subtype by phylogenetic inference of 881-bp tax sequences from prototypical PTLVs. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) tax sequences were used as an outgroup in the maximum-likelihood analysis. New sequences from this study are in boldface. Support for the branching order was determined by 1,000 bootstrap replicates; only values >60% are shown. Branch lengths are proportional to the evolutionary distance (scale bar) between the taxa.
