Molecular Epidemiology and Phylogenetic Analysis of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Circulating in Sheep in Bangladesh

Figure 2

Evolutionary relationships of the partial fusion gene sequence (397 bp) of PPR viruses. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method. The evolutionary distances, showed at each node, were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. This analysis involved 23 nucleotide sequences. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA-11. Our virus is marked with a black colored triangle. Lineage of PPRV is shown at the right side of the tree.
