Figure

Phylogenetic analysis (UPGMA) of hepatitis E virus (HEV) sequences from the epidemic in Biratnagar, Nepal, 2014, on the basis of 412 nt within open reading frame 2 (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank accession nos. AB98608–AB986107). All 40 HEV isolates from epidemic in Biratnagar segregated into a single, new cluster within genotype 1a. Values along branches indicate genotypes. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
