Main Article

Figure 3

Evolutionary dynamics of Sin Nombre virus sequences, Washington, USA, 2023. A) Phylogeographic reconstruction of movements between discrete states using Markov jumps. Curve weight reflects Bayes factor support. B) Tanglegram showing topologic changes across segment trees. Connecting lines link variants. Major shifts indicate reassortment. Posterior node support shown at each node. L, large; M, medium; S, small.
