![Phylogenetic analysis of West Nile virus (WNV) lineage 1 isolate from a patient with persistent WNV infection, Israel, 2014, compared with reference strains. The analysis was conducted on 96% of the WNV nucleotide sequence using the neighbor-joining method implemented in MEGA 6.0 software (http://www.megasoftware.net). The robustness of branching pattern was tested by 1,000 bootstrap replications. The percentage of successful bootstrap replicates is indicated at nodes, showing only values of >](/eid/images/16-0132-F1.jpg)

The analysis was conducted on 96% of the WNV nucleotide sequence using the neighbor-joining method implemented in MEGA 6.0 software (http://www.megasoftware.net). The robustness of branching pattern was tested by 1,000 bootstrap replications. The percentage of successful bootstrap replicates is indicated at nodes, showing only values of >70%. A WNV lineage 2 sequence obtained from strain ITA 13 (GenBank no. KF647252) was used as an outgroup. Bold indicates the WNV lineage 1 strain sequenced in this study Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
