Figure 5. STLPyV and MWPyV strains are diverse.

Figure 5

Midpoint-rooted neighbor-joining phylogeny inferred from the nucleotide sequences of 9 STLPyV strains and 25 MWPyV strains identified in the three cohorts (Figure 4) and the Malawi index case. Primer sequences were removed to yield a 437 nt alignment. The two genotypes of STLPyV and three genotypes of MWPyV, with strong bootstrap support and > 5% inter-clade sequence difference, are indicated on the right. The ML method yielded a tree with similar topologies.
