Molecular characterization of enterovirus D68 strains from Argentina, 2016, compared with reference strains from GenBank. Tree based on phylogenetic analyses of partial viral protein 1 genomic region (nucleotide positions 2554–2799, corresponding to the Fermon strain). Bold indicates strains detected in this study (GenBank accession nos. MF445419–20). We generated trees using the neighbor-joining method, as implemented in MEGA 6 software (http://www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values from 1,000

We generated trees using the neighbor-joining method, as implemented in MEGA 6 software (http://www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values from 1,000 replicates are shown at the nodes. The trees were rooted with the prototype strain Fermon (GenBank accession no. AY426531). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
