Figure

Phylogenetic trees of A) a 1,479-nt fragment of the complete envelope glycoprotein gene and B) a 220-nt fragment of the partial envelope glycoprotein gene of dengue virus. Phylogeny was based on a neighbor-joining tree with p-distance and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values >75 are indicated along the branches. The strain isolated in this study from a 71-year-old man who returned from West Africa to Germany is indicated in bold. Scale bars indicate percentage of nucleotide distance.
