Phylogenetic relationships among genotypes 1–4 and wild boar, rabbit, rat, avian, bat, and ferret isolates of hepatitis E virus. Nucleic acid sequence alignment was performed by using Clustal X 1.81 (www.clustal.org/clustal2/). Genetic distance was calculated by using Kimura’s 2-parameter method. Phylogenetic trees with 1,000 bootstrap replicates were generated by using the neighbor-joining method (Njplot 2.3, http://njplot.sharewarejunction.com/) based on A) the entire genome and B) open readin
