Figure 2

Phylogenetic analysis of Leishmania RNA virus 1 isolates analyzed in Panama, 2014–2018, and reference isolates. A phylogenetic tree reconstruction was implemented, applying Bayesian inference with the general time reversible plus gamma 4 plus invariate sites model using MrBayes version 3.2.6 phylogenetic software (https://nbisweden.github.io/MrBayes). Boldface indicates sequences obtained in this study, which are in the same clade with reference sequences from Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis isolates, mostly from Brazil. Numbers at each node represent clade credibility values. GenBank accession numbers are provided. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site.
