Maximum likelihood tree obtained for 80 core-E1 (Fig. 2) sequences of HCV-6. Red branches represent those sampled in Laos, while black branches represent those sampled in other countries. Subtypes and unclassified lineages are denoted at right hand side. Two new subtypes, 6xd and 6xe, are named in sky blue, while all the unclassified lineages (uncl) are named in black (if completely sequenced) or purple (if partially sequenced). All other annotations are the same as in Fig. 1.
