Maximum-likelihood tree constructed under the HKY codon position substitution model using PhyML (http://code.google.com/p/phyml/) of a 330-bp fragment of small segment RNA of Shuni virus (SHUV) identified in horses in South Africa, with representative sequences of selected other orthobunyaviruses. Scale bar = 0.07 nt substitutions. Estimates were based on bootstrap resampling conducted with 100 replicates. Only values >70 are shown. All SHUV amplicons were sequenced, and the data were deposit
