Fig 4. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of representative RABV isolated in the CAR during the year 2012 and their geographical distribution.

The neighbor-joining method was used for reconstructing the tree of the N gene sequences of reference RABV strains from Africa I, II and III clades and new sequences from the CAR identified in this study. The percentages of replicate trees in which the isolates clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches.
