Figure 2

Protein sequence–based phylogenetic tree of the rotavirus viral protein 6 gene obtained by the neighbor-joining algorithm. Asterisks indicate >90% bootstrap values. The 2 canine rotavirus strains from Hungary that belong to the proposed novel Rotavirus I cluster with rotavirus H, G, and B within a major clade referred to as clade 2. Rotavirus A, C, D, and F strains belong to clade 1 (6). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
