Rooted phylogenetic tree generated with consensus sequences of 425 bp fragments of the SFV <i>pol</i>-In from apes-infected hunters and prototype old world non-human primates from the apes' clades.

<p>The final consensus sequences from our study are highlighted in red (gorilla) and green (chimpanzee). Sequences are compared to known prototypes from different central African NHP species. Alignment was performed with Dambe version 4.5.68 and Clustal W. Phylogenetic analysis was performed with Paup, version 4.0b10 (Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, MA, USA) based on the Neighbour joining method applying the GTR model. Bootstrap analysis of 1000 replicates is indicated as numbers at nodes. Only values greater than 60% are shown. The scale of the tree is 0,1 nucleotide replacements per site. The tree is rooted on a divergent sequence from an Asian macaque. Species found in Cameroon are shown with asterisks. Sequences accession numbers are: JN049036 to JN049065 for gorilla sequences and JN049033 to JN049035 for Chimpanzee sequences.
