Fig 2. A ML tree identifying multiple rabies virus variants associated with Myotis bats.

This ML tree was generated using 175 RABV N gene sequences. The dataset includes 164 isolates (see S1 Table) together with 10 selected reference sequences (identified under the CAN-MYO dataset in S3 Table) which are marked by * and a raccoon RABV isolate used as an outgroup. The host species from which each isolate originated is indicated either in lowercase (based on bat specimen morphology) or uppercase (confirmed by barcoding). Bt values > 70 for major internal nodes are shown. The variant, clade and lineage designations are indicated to the right of the tree.
