Phylogenetic tree of monkeypox virus infection in 2 female travelers returning to Vietnam from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 2022. A) Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree illustrating the relatedness between virus sequences obtained in this study (Genbank accession nos. OP936000 and OP936001) and reference strains. Most sequences of sublineage A.2.1 from South Asia belong to a cluster from India (green) reported in July 2022 from persons with a travel history to the United Arab Emirates. The remaining sequences of A.2.1 from outside Asia included 1 isolated in the United Kingdom in June 2022, 1 isolated in the United States in May 2022, and 1 isolated in Nigeria in January 2020. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. B) Maximum-clade credibility tree of monkeypox virus lineage A.2. Red branches are sequences from this study.
