Fig. 2.

Amino acid p-distance of the novel clade (orthohepevirus from rodents derived from this study, kestrel, fox, and rodents from China) and representatives viruses of Hepeviridae family. This analysis was based on an alignment of the RdRp protein (ORF1–1249 to ORF1–1671, numbered relative to the sequence of the HEV Burma isolate, GenBank accession M73218). The ends of the box represent the upper and lower quartiles, as well as the box spans the interquartile range. The median is showed by a white vertical line inside the box, and the whiskers are the two lines outside the box that extend to the highest and lowest p-distance. The percentages of p-distance are shown in Y-axis, and the representative members of Hepeviridae family are shown in X-axis. The dashed-line showed the 50% of p-distance. The asterisks indicate the unrecognized species by ICTV. The novel clade is highlighted in pink color.
