Phylogenetic tree of LSDV from infected free-ranging Indian gazelles (Gazella bennettii), Rajasthan, India, compared with reference strains from GenBank. LSDV tree is based on complete LSDV036 RNA polymerase 30-kDa polypeptide (RPO30) gene sequences using maximum-likelihood analysis combined with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. LSDV from Indian gazelle clustered with LSDV wild-type strains from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Triangles indicate sequences obtained from this study; stars indicate sequences of LSDV recombinant strains from GenBank. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. GenBank accession numbers are provided. GTPV, goatpox virus; LSDV, lumpy skin disease virus; SPPV, sheeppox virus.
