Comparison between phylogenetic trees of rabies virus N and G genes.

<p>Comparison of rabies virus phylogenetic trees for the (A) partial N gene (1124 nt) and the (B) complete G gene (1572 nt) using 57 virus strains from the Philippines and other Asian countries. The trees were constructed using the maximum-likelihood method and bootstrap values were calculated from 500 replicates. Both trees show the three major clades, Luzon (green line), Visayas (blue line), and Mindanao (orange line), and the two distinct strains from Mindoro and South Luzon. The red circle shows the Philippine strain (RV/04030PHI/2004) <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002144#pntd.0002144-Bourhy1" target="_blank">[16]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002144#pntd.0002144-Ming1" target="_blank">[19]</a> from the cluster that was previously named Asian 2b by Gong et al <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002144#pntd.0002144-Ming1" target="_blank">[19]</a>.
