Figure

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the small (A), large (B), and medium (C) segments of Oropouche orthobunyavirus from a patient in Colombia, 2017 (red text), and reference sequences. Numbers to the left of nodes indicate bootstrap values based on 1,000 replicates. GenBank accession numbers are given for representative strains used for comparison. Triangles indicate phylogenetic branches compressed for size (4,9). Faceys Paddock and Bunyamwera viruses were used as outgroups. Scale corresponds to phylogenetic distance units estimated by likelihood function model. IQTV, Iquitos virus; MdDV, Madre de Dios virus.
