Figure 2. Phylogenetic relationships among EV-D68 strains detected in Guinea (red), Niger (green), and Senegal (blue), June–September 2016. We used the maximum-likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model method in MEGA7 (http://www.megasoftware.net) to generate the phylogenetic tree constructed on the viral protein 1 region of EV-D68 strains. Sequences are identified by GenBank accession number, country, and period of detection. The phylogenetic tree is rooted by the oldest EV-D68 sequence in GenBank, the Fermon strain. We performed 1,000 bootstrap replications to determine the consensus tree; support for nodes present in >70% of the trees are annotated. EV-D68, enterovirus D68.
