Figure. Comparison of dengue virus type 2 from a patient returning from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, to Japan (arrow) with reference dengue virus sequences. Virus lineages are shown on right. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by using the neighbor-joining method. The maximum composite likelihood method was used, and rates among sites were uniform. Analyses were performed by using MEGA6 software (http://megasoftware.net). Scale bar indicates substitutions per nucleotide position.
