Phylogenetic trees for the medium (M) segments (680 nt) (A) and small (S) segments (531 nt) (B) of 6 Rift Valley fever virus isolates from southern Mauritania, 2012 (underlined), showing relationships among strains isolated from different localities and countries. The strains from 2012 grouped with strains isolated in northern Mauritania in 2010, which suggests re-emergence from an enzootic focus. GenBank accession numbers are KF648851–KF648856 for the M segments and KF648857–KF648862 for the S

GenBank accession numbers are KF648851–KF648856 for the M segments and KF648857–KF648862 for the S segments of the isolates identified in this study. GenBank accession numbers, countries, and year of isolation are given for the other strains. Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
