The Taiwanese strains were designated “TW,” followed by characters that indicate their env subtype. The divergence was calculated after excluding the insertion or deletion sequences and is shown as the percentage of deviant positions. The divergence between the nucleotide sequences is shown below the diagonal; the divergence between deduced amino acid sequences is shown above the diagonal. Boldface numbers indicate the comparisons between strains of the same env subtype.
