FIG. 2.
Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 nucleotide sequences of the G9 strains was done with the Clustal X program, with 1,000 bootstrap repetitions. All of the G9 strains were rooted to strain RRV and drawn with the TreeView program. Numbers are bootstrap values, and all values greater than 700 were reported. Global strains were full-length sequences selected from the GenBank database. The global G9 sequences used in the phylogram were selected to be representative of all of the genetic variants of G9 strains that have been previously reported.
