Phylogenetic network reveals clade distribution of study samples. A phylogenetic network was constructed using SplitsTree4 () and represents the alignment of all VZV genomes sequenced in this study and sixteen representative sequences (red text) chosen to highlight the six major established VZV clades (REF2). Note that repeat elements within the genomes (R1-R5 and the terminal repeat region) were masked prior to network construction.
