Phylogenetic analysis of the LASV strains tested in cynomolgus monkeys. the tree was inferred using the PhyML Smart Model Selection [21] general time-reversible plus gamma plus proportion of invariable sites model, performed on the L gene of the different LASV strains. The L gene of the Mopeia virus strain an 20410 was used to root the tree. as the sequence of the Z-132 strain is not publicly available, we used the sequence of Z-148, which is genetically similar [15]. The LASV lineage is indicated on the right.
