Figure 2. Rooted tree constructed from amino-acid multiple alignments of the major capsid protein of ASFV isolates and four out-grouped viruses.

The tree was constructed under a WAG+G+I+F model and maximum likelihood method with 1,000 bootstrap resampling. Numbers indicate the statistical value (Expected-Likelihood Weight) of internal nodes, given in percentages (only numbers above 70% are indicated). The outgroup connects ASFV group by the branch from genotypes VIII (MwLil20/1), IX (UgH03), and X (Kenya1950, kn66 and Uganda) to other genotypes.
