Phylogenetic analysis of RABVs included in this investigation. A 592-nucleotide portion encompassing the cytoplasmic domain of the glycoprotein and the G-L intergenic regions of the virus isolates included in this study. A neighbour-joining tree of the G-L intergenic region sequences illustrating the genetic relationships of canid RABVs from Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and KwaZulu-Natal provinces respectively. The viral sequences obtained from both black-backed jackal and domestic dogs from KwaZulu-Natal are in black, Gauteng viral isolates are in red, North West province in green and Limpopo province in dark blue. The horizontal lines are proportional to the evolutionary distances between sequences and the scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site. Key: bbj, black-backed jackal; dog, domestic dog; bov, bovine; cat, wild cat
