Figure 2. Nucleotide sequence–based phylogenetic analysis of the genomes of CbGHV1 and other gammaherpesviruses. The genus Lymphocryptovirus is represented by Epstein-Barr virus as outgroup, and the genus Rhadinovirus is represented by the RV1 and RV2 lineages, with host species indicated. Sequences are based on the complete U region, bootstrap values are shown as percentages, and the scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site. CbGHV1, colobine gammaherpesvirus 1 (KHSV-like virus isolated from a mantled guereza); EBV, Epstein-Barr virus; JMRV, Japanese macaque rhadinovirus; KSHV, Kaposi’s sarcoma–associated herpesvirus; MneRV2, Macaca nemestrina; RV2; RFHVMn, retroperitoneal fibromatosis–associated herpesviruses of Macaca nemestrina macaques; RRV, rhesus macaque RV; RV, Rhadinovirus.
