Schematic diagram depicting the recombination events proposed to have shaped the genetic profile of the Canadian clinical isolate VZV-8. Open arrows depict ORFs, and reiteration regions R2 and R3 are depicted by solid black boxes. The superimposed vertical red lines depict locations where VZV-8 shares an SNP with either the clade A or clade B progenitor strain. SNPs which are specific to a single clade, as indicated in Fig. 3A, are not shown.
