^cAA identity, percent identity of deduced amino acid sequences of proteins were calculated by FASTA analysis.

^dZAI/IND, comparison of corresponding ORFs of MPV-ZAI and VAR-IND.

^eIND/GAR, comparison of corresponding ORFs of VAR-IND and VAR-GAR.

^fIndicates a deletion in the coding sequence of one virus relative to the other.
