Phylogentic trees of all 4 arenavirus‐encoded proteins for representative Old World viruses, along with Junín virus (JUNV) and Tacaribe virus (TCRV). Phylogenetic trees of amino acid sequences are generated on Clustal Omega using default parameters. NCBI accession numbers and sequence files used are available on request from corresponding author. Scale is equal to substitutions per site. Lassa (strain Josiah), Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) (strain Armstrong). GAIV, Gairo virus; IPPYV, Ippy virus; LASV, Lassa fever virus; LNKV, Lusaka New‐Kasama virus; LUAV, Lusaka‐Namwala virus; LUJV, Lujo virus; MOBV, Mobala virus; MOPV, Mopeia virus; MORV, Morogoro virus; MWV, Merino walk virus; RDRP, RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase; WENV, Wenzhou virus
