Phylogenetic comparison of strains on the basis of CD2v protein/gene sequences. A Eighty-eight amino acids of the CD2v protein were analyzed using MEGA5, with four rate classes, and 100 bootstrap replicates, implemented in the maximum-likelihood method. Bootstrap values > 80% are indicated at appropriate nodes. B Ninety-nucleotide sequences of the CD2v protein-encoding gene EP402R were analyzed using MEGA5 software with 1000 bootstrap replicates, implemented in the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap values > 80% are indicated at appropriate nodes. The serogroup status of ASFV is indicated. Recent Asian isolates are indicated using a closed circle (●)
