Figure 1. Maximum-clade credibility tree illustrating results of phylogeographic analysis of enterovirus A71 subgenogroup B5 coding sequences, Vietnam, July 2013–April 2015. Black circles indicate posterior probabilities ≥70% and state probabilities ≥70% at all nodes. Branch colors represent sampling locations from 5 discrete states in Vietnam (inset map; https://mapchart.net). Small sample sizes from individual provinces precluded phylogeographic analyses at a finer spatial scale. Except for Ho Chi Minh City, we grouped provinces in Vietnam from which we sampled viruses into discrete locations, including southeast (Ba Ria, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, and Vung Tau Provinces), Mekong Delta (Can Tho, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Kien Giang, Long An, and Tien Giang Provinces), and Central Highlands (Dac Nong and Lam Dong Provinces). We analyzed whole-genome sequence data using general time reversible plus gamma 4 nt substitution models suggested by IQ-TREE version 1.4.3 (http://www.iqtree.org). Viral protein 1–based analysis yielded similar results (Appendix Figure 2). Enterovirus A71 sequences generated in this study were submitted to GenBank under accession nos. MH_716248–6393 and KP_691643–66.
