Phylogenetic tree showing genetic relatedness of spike protein amino acid sequence for Mystacina sp. bat coronavirus (CoV)/New Zealand/2013 (shown in boldface) with those of known coronaviruses. Evolutionary history was inferred for 492 informative amino acid sites by using the maximum-likelihood method based on the Whilan and Goldman + F model with gamma distribution and invariant sites in MEGA 5.05 software (www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values are calculated from 1,000 trees (only bootstra

Phylogenetic tree showing genetic relatedness of spike protein amino acid sequence for Mystacina sp. bat coronavirus (CoV)/New Zealand/2013 (shown in boldface) with those of known coronaviruses. Evolutionary history was inferred for 492 informative amino acid sites by using the maximum-likelihood method based on the Whilan and Goldman + F model with gamma distribution and invariant sites in MEGA 5.05 software (www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values are calculated from 1,000 trees (only bootstrap values >50% are shown). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. TGEV, transmissible gastroenteritis CoV; PRCV, porcine respiratory CoV; SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome.
