Phylogenetic tree of Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1 (herpes B virus) gB gene in 2 patients with B virus infection, Japan, 2019. Nucleotide sequences of the herpes-specific PCR products (364 bp) from the 2 patients were aligned with the corresponding region of the B virus gB gene from GenBank (accession no. LC637778 for virus from patient 1 and LC637779 for virus from patient 2). Phylogenetic tree with HVP2 as an outgroup constructed using the neighbor-joining method. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site. HVP2, herpesvirus papio 2.
