Figure 4

LBHVs and other mobatviruses from Southeast Asia showing detection of batborne hantaviruses, Laos, 2023–2024. The tanglegram compares maximum-likelihood trees from the hantavirus phylogeny in Figure 3 and the host cytochrome B gene. Red text indicates hantaviruses detected in Laos, and blue text indicate strains from Vietnam. The maximum-likelihood tree of the host cytochrome B gene was reconstructed with the same method as in Figure 3 with the AC = AT, CG = GT and equal base frequency plus proportion of invariable sites plus discrete Gamma model with default 4 rate categories model for cytochrome B, with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. LBHV, Lao batborne hantavirus. Additional virus abbreviations are given in the Appendix.
