FIGURE 2. Phylogenetic tree of sequences associated with diseases by RuV persistent infection.

Note: The genetic relationship analysis between the sequences from persistent infection and 32 reference RuV sequences was based on the standard genotyping window and the bootstrap test (1 000 replicates) (23). Bootstrap support values >70% are shown at the nodes. Sequences are labeled according to associated diseases, including chronic arthritis (cyan), granuloma (red), or Fuchs uveitis syndrome (green). Distances were computed using the number of differences method.
