Phylogenetic tree of Gn glycoprotein sequences comparing hantaviruses sampled from 48 Peromyscus eremicus and 1 P. maniculatus (DEVA 10 022) mice collected in Death Valley National Park, California, USA (detail in inset box; GenBank accession nos.

Figure. Phylogenetic tree of Gn glycoprotein sequences comparing hantaviruses sampled from 48 Peromyscus eremicus and 1 P. maniculatus (DEVA 10 022) mice collected in Death Valley National Park, California, USA (detail in inset box; GenBank accession nos. MG992890–MG992938). Representative reference sequences of hantaviruses in the United States were downloaded from GenBank (accession numbers included in taxon labels). The tree was reconstructed by analysis of 370 bases of the glycoprotein precursor (GPC) gene by using the neighbor-joining method, employing the HKY model, to estimate genetic distances. We estimated support for relationships by using a nonparametric bootstrap analysis (1,000 replicates). Nodes with bootstrap percentages >50% are indicated. Similar tree topologies were generated from maximum-likelihood (RAxML) and Bayesian (Mr. Bayes) phylogenetic analyses (not shown), implemented by using Geneious version 10.0 (Biomatters; Newark, New Jersey, USA). Scale bar represents genetic distance (substitutions per site). DEVA, Death Valley National Park.
