Maximum-likelihood tree constructed for 600-bp RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene SARS-CoV-2 nucleotide sequences from a hippopotamus (red circle) and 3 human SARS-CoV-2 strains from COVID-19 patients in Vietnam (red triangles) compared with reference betacoronavirus strains obtained from GenBank. Betacoronavirus lineages are indicated on the right of the figure. Scale bar denotes evolutionary distance. MERS, Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome.
