Neighbor-joining tree constructed on the basis of partial N-gene sequences of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), showing relationships among the PPRV isolates. The Kimura 2-parameter model was used to calculate percentages (indicated by numbers beside branches) of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Red rectangle outlines the 2 PPRV sequences from saiga obtained from this study (BankIt2279588 MOG/saiga5-2017, GenBank accession no.
