Phylogenetic analysis of partial (≈200 bp) nonstructural protein 3 gene sequences of Zika virus strains performed by using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods. A substitution model was based on a general time-reversible model with gamma-distributed rate variation and a proportion of invariant sites. Numbers at the nodes represent posterior probability values (clade credibilities >90%) and percentage bootstrap support values (>70%) based on 1,000 replicates. GenBank accession numbers, s

Figure.
