Phylogenetic tree of chikungunya viruses collected from patients in Pakistan, December 20, 2016–May 31, 2017 (red squares), and reference viruses. The tree was generated by the maximum-likelihood method based on the nucleotide sequence of the partial envelope 1 (A) and nonstructural protein 1 (B) genes. Red text indicates East/Central/South African genotype; yellow text indicates Asian genotype; green text indicates South African genotype; blue text indicates West African genotype; and purple te
