Figure 2

Phylogenetic analysis of Seoul virus partial gene fragments recovered from brown rats (Rattus norvegicus [family Muridae, subfamily Murinae]) trapped in Benin (red) and reference sequences. Phylogenetic trees were generated by the maximum-likelihood method on partial coding regions of the small (A) and large (B) segments; medium segments were not done because they were not available from the reference genes from Senegal. Colored points at each node represent branch support as determined by an approximate likelihood ratio test. Lineages 7, 4, and 3 and phylogroup A are indicated. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference sequences. Scale bars indicate numbers of substitutions per nucleotide.
