Phylogenetic analysis of Wesselsbron virus (WSLV) in dromedary camels, Borana Zone, Ethiopia, 2024. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed with 1,000 bootstrap replicates based on 65 partial NS5 gene sequences of WSLV, including the camel-derived WSLV sequences (maximum length 252 bp). The newly identified camel WSLV strains from this study are in red within clade 1.
