Phylogenetic comparison of PMMoV nucleotide sequences recovered in the present study and corresponding (a) to a region located near the 5′ end of the genome or (b) to a region in the capsid gene to PMMoV sequences selected from GenBank.

<p>Footnote: The phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbor-joining method based on the 5′ region (a) of the PMMoV genome or a region in the capsid gene (b). The PMMoV sequences recovered from patients' stool in the present study are in the boldface, white font and are indicated by a black square. Their name is labeled as follows: Mars_Laboratory identification number_Gender-Age_Clinical unit where the patient received care. The PMMoV sequences recovered from food products in the present study are in a boldface and are indicated by a gray square. Their name is labeled as follows: Mars_Name of the food product_Country where food product was manufactured. The remaining PMMoV sequences were obtained from GenBank. Their name is labeled as follows: GenBank Accession no._Coutry of origin_Year of submission to GenBank. Bootstrap values are indicated when greater than 50% as a percentage obtained from 1,000 resamplings of the data. The scale bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per site. The sequence of <i>Tobacco mild green mosaic virus</i> (GenBank Accession No. NC_001556) and <i>Tropical soda apple mosaic virus</i> (GenBank Accession No. AY956381) were used as outgroups.
