Table 2. Characteristics of representative nucleoprotein gene sequences for rabies virus isolates, Mali, 2006–2013* .

Isolate	Haplotype	Identical sequences (−546 nt of the N gene)	Phylogroup
RV09	2	RV50, RV56, RV51, RV19, RV79	G (Africa 2)
RV96	6	RV84, RV95	G (Africa 2)
RV90	11	RV67, RV60, RV68, RV88, RV89, RV22	H (Africa 2)
RV87	14	RV14, RV27	H (Africa 2)

*All identical sequences have 100% nucleoprotein (N) gene identity on the basis of 546 nt (positions 71–618) compared with the reference isolate. RV, rabies virus.
