Phylogenetic analysis of RABVs analyzed in this investigation. A 592-nucleotide region encompassing the cytoplasmic domain of the glycoprotein and the G-L intergenic regions of the RABVs included in this study together with other previously characterized viruses was used in the analysis. A neighbor-joining tree of the G-L intergenic region sequences illustrating the genetic relationships of canid rabies viruses from the Kromdraai region of Gauteng. The virus sequences were compared with those from jackals from the 2016 rabies outbreak [14]. The virus sequence of the honey badger RABV is highlighted in red. The horizontal lines are proportional to the evolutionary distances between sequences and the scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site.
