Phylogenetic trees of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genes recovered from a human case in China, 2025. A) Phylogenetic tree built on the basis of the nucleotide sequences of the open reading frame of JEV. B) Phylogenetic tree built on the basis of the nucleotide sequences of the envelope gene of JEV. We constructed the phylogenetic trees by using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA 12.0 software (https://www.megasoftware.net). Neonate sequence from this study is in boldface. Branch numbers indicate percent bootstrap support values. Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
