Phylogenetic tree of enterovirus 68 viral protein 1 gene sequences constructed by using a 927-nt sequence corresponding to nt sequence 2355–3281 in strain 37–99, Osaka, Japan, October 2009–October 2010. Tree was constructed by using the neighbor-joining method. Sequences were aligned by using Clustal X version 1.81. (www.clustal.org/). Genetic distances between sequences were calculated by using the Kimura 2-parameter method. Bootstrap values from 1,000 replicates are shown at the nodes. Locatio
