Figure 3.
Molecular phylogeny of the DNA polymerase (DPOL) gene of various herpesvirus species. The phylogeny of DPOL gene sequences (1555 nucleotides in length) from 40 herpesviruses (Table S1 in Supplementary Material) was determined using MrBayes programs. Numbers on branches correspond to posterior probabilities. Branch length is proportional to the number of nucleotides substitutions. The tree is unrooted. The arrow points to the bovine gammaherpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4)-FMV strain and the asterisk (*) highlights the Rhadinovirus genus cluster.
