Main Article

Figure 1

Phylogenetic analysis of representative Lassa virus (LASV) isolates identified in Mali in 2016 (bold) and reference isolates. The tree was constructed by using full-length sequences of the small RNA segment and the neighbor-joining method with bootstrapping to 10,000 iterations. Partial sequences were compared by using the pairwise deletion method. The tree is drawn to scale. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 (https://www.megasoftware.net). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitution
