Figure 4. Bayesian skyline plot showing demographic history of global peste des petits ruminants viruses sampled during 1968–2012. Genetic diversity was estimated by using a partial nucleoprotein gene dataset (n = 159). The thick black line represents median genetic diversity and the blue shaded areas show 95% highest posterior density estimate.
