Inferred phylogenetic relationships of Rio Negro viruses collected from mosquitoes, bats, and rodents in South America and the human-derived RNV sequence described in this report from Tarija, Bolivia (bold text). A) Phylogenetic tree made with an alignment of partial nsP4 sequences of Rio Negro viruses. Mossa das Pedras virus is included as an outgroup. B) Phylogenetic tree made with an alignment of partial E3/GP2 sequences of Rio Negro viruses. Mossa das Pedras virus is included as an outgroup. GenBank accession numbers are provided. Scale bars indicate substitutions per site.
