Calculations were done for genotypes defined from a phylogenetic tree with 2481 unique RSV‐A sequences of the G‐ectodomain region. The number of sequences of each genotype (A) or subgenotype (B) is shown in parenthesis. P‐distances were calculated between and among individual genotypes (A) or subgenotypes (B). P‐distances within each genotype and subgenotype are denoted in bold. Standard error (SE) estimates are shown next to the average genetic distances.
