Phylogenic analysis of partial B646L gene sequence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in samples of pork products brought into South Korea by travelers from Shunyang, China, August 2018, and reference sequences. Neighbor-joining phylogenic tree was constructed by using MEGA 6.0 (https://www.megasoftware.net). Black dots indicate genes of ASFV isolates detected in 3 food items containing pork and 1 commercial pork product confiscated from travelers. Vertical lines at right indicate ASFV genotype

Black dots indicate genes of ASFV isolates detected in 3 food items containing pork and 1 commercial pork product confiscated from travelers. Vertical lines at right indicate ASFV genotypes I–XXIV. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference sequences. Scale bar indicates the number of base pair substitutions per nucleotide.
