Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree including enterovirus D68 (EV‐D68) sequences from El Salvador and Panama. Using EV‐D68 partial viral protein 1 sequences, the evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor‐joining method in MEGA 6.0 ¹⁶ , ¹⁷ ; contemporaneous EV‐D68 reference strains from GenBank were included in the analyses. EV‐D68s on the tree are designated by country/state or province for some/year of detection‐strain name_GenBank accession number. Solid triangles represent sequences from El Salvador (n = 9), and solid circles represent sequences from Panama (n = 7). Bootstrap values >80% are shown. The scale bar represents genetic change in base substitutions per site
