Phylogenetic tree showing clade analysis in study of human monkeypox virus infection, Uganda, 2024. Maximum-likelihood tree was generated using IQ-TREE (https://www.iqtree.org) with 1,000 bootstrap resampling. The monkeypox virus sequences from Uganda (Case1_UG and Case2_UG) clustered with other clade Ib viruses from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (red text). Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
