Figure 3. Time-scaled phylogenetic trees of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) genomes isolated in the Americas. A) CHIKV Asian genotype; B) CHIKV East/Central/South African genotype from Brazil. Tips and internal branches are colored according to the most likely geographic location, and ancestral states were estimated by phylogeographic methods. Clusters relevant to the epidemic in Paraguay are shown in detail where the most likely ancestral state estimation is annotated. Asterisks indicate highly supported clusters (posterior probability >0.9).
