Main Article

Figure

Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on the complete genome of domestic cat hepadnavirus (DCH) from a study of DCH infection in Iberian lynxes. We elaborated the tree by using the alignment of the full-length nucleotide sequence of the Iberian lynx DCH SPA/2022/Iberian lynx/296-23-81 strain (black arrow; GenBank accession no. PP347721) generated in this study and the cognate sequences of DCH strains retrieved from GenBank (accession numbers shown). We constructed the tree by using the maximum-likelihood method, the Kimura 2-parameter model, a discrete gamma distribution and a proportion of invariant sites, and bootstrapping up to 1,000 replicates. Bootstrap values >70% are shown. We used the Japanese Rara strain (GenBank accession no. LC685967), belonging to DCH genotype B, as an outgroup. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
