FIG 5 .

gB protein phylogenic tree highlights similarities with other bat herpesviruses and EHV-2. The tree displays multiple gammaherpesvirus protein sequences, and human herpesvirus 1 represents the outgroup. BGHV8 gB is an 839-amino-acid protein. An alignment was generated for a 263-amino-acid region of gB from positions 498 to 760 of BGHV8. All sequences were trimmed to include only the corresponding region, and an alignment was derived with an LG substitution model and 100 bootstraps with a scale of 0.4. The inset on the right side displays an enlarged image highlighted corresponding to the gray box in the left image to display the sequences most closely related to BGHV8. Red denotes BGHV8, and blue labels denote gB from viruses obtained from bat species. The most closely related sequence from this analysis comes from a gB sequence of Myotis ricketti herpesvirus 2 (AFM85235.1). Triangles represent multiple sequences which were collapsed to enhance presentation. To see the tree with no collapsed sequences and corresponding accession numbers, see Fig. S1 in the supplemental material.
