Phylogenetic analysis of isolate YY5 (in boldface) from an ill Shaoxing duck in the People’s Republic of China and selected other flaviviruses obtained by using an ≈1-kb nt sequence in the nonstructural 5 genomic region. The tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method of MEGA (7). Numbers at nodes indicate bootstrap percentages obtained after 1,000 replicates; only bootstrap values >70% are shown.
