Figure 3. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on partial nonstructural protein 4 gene sequences from study of epidemiologic, entomologic, and virologic findings during reemergence of western equine encephalitis virus, Argentina, 2023–2024. Analysis includes 19 newly sequenced isolates obtained from mosquitoes and equines (red dots) across a wide geographic range in Argentina. Numbers at major nodes indicate bootstrap support values based on 10,000 replicates. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference sequences; accession numbers for all sequences from this study are provided in Tables 1 and 2 and the Appendix. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
