Complete genome phylogenetic analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detected in Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica), India (blue text), and representative sequences of different clusters generated at 99.9% identity threshold from the available SARS-COV-2 sequences from Tamil Nadu, India, in the GISAID. The maximum-likelihood tree was rooted to Wuhan-Hu-1 reference sequence (GISAID accession no. EPI_ISL_402124). GenBank accession numbers are provided for the sequences from this study. Pink numbers in parentheses indicate the number of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences clustered at 99.9% identity threshold. Other text colors represent SARS-CoV-2 variants. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
