Minimum-evolution (ME) phylogenetic trees of 5 isolates from Republic of the Congo, 2009, based on C-terminal end of the p72 protein relative to the 22 p72 genotypes (labeled I–XXII) involved 6-nt sequences (A) and full length p54 gene sequences among 90 African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates (B). The trees were inferred by using the ME method after initial application of a neighbor-joining algorithm. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered by bootstrap analys

Figure A1. Minimum-evolution (ME) phylogenetic trees of 5 isolates from Republic of the Congo, 2009, based on C-terminal end of the p72 protein relative to the 22 p72 genotypes (labeled I–XXII) involved 6-nt sequences (A) and full length p54 gene sequences among 90 African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates (B). The trees were inferred by using the ME method after initial application of a neighbor-joining algorithm. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered by bootstrap analysis (1,000 replicates) is shown adjacent to the nodes. The robustness of the ME trees was tested by using the close-neighbor interchange algorithm at a search level of 1. ASFV isolates from western Congo are indicated by red squares, ASFV isolates from eastern Congo by blue triangles.
