Phylogenetic analysis of nonsegmented protein 5 partial sequences of ZIKV isolated from a traveler returning from Colombia to Mexico (MEX/InDRE/14/2015; black dot), October 2015, showing close relationship Zika virus strains reported from Brazil and Suriname in 2015. We determined the evolutionary relationship implementing the maximum likelihood statistical algorithm and the Tamura-Nei substitution model using MEGA6 (http://www.megasoftware.net). The tree was created by using FigTree version 1.4

The tree was created by using FigTree version 1.4.2 software (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/). Molecular markers are indicated near the node source. Strain labels consist of GenBank accession number, country, and year of isolation.
