Figure 2

Phylogenetic tree of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus strains detected in southern Iraq (red triangles) and reference sequences. GenBank accession number, strain name, and country of origin are indicated for reference sequences. Bootstrap support values >70 are shown at the nodes. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA version 7 (https://www.megasoftware.net) and the maximum-likelihood algorithm on the basis of partial large segments of Kodoko virus and partial large segment sequences corresponding to sites 3210–3604 of strain Armstrong (accession no. NC_004291). Scale bar indicates substitutions per nucleic acid site. CSF, cerebrospinal fluid.
