Neighbour Joining phylogenetic tree between 18 Estonian rabies virus sequences and 24 references isolates.

<p>The tree is rooted with isolates EU159392 and AF374721, used as outgroup. The phylogenetic analysis was based on the analysis of the first 400 nt of N gene using NJ method. Bootstrap values greater than 70% are shown next to the branches. Abbreviations for the phylogenetic groups (NEE, C, D and E) earlier described by Bourhy et al. <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001535#pntd.0001535-Bourhy1" target="_blank">[20]</a> and Kuzmin et al. <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001535#pntd.0001535-Kuzmin1" target="_blank">[21]</a> are used in the text. In ◊ are shown the representative sequences of identical nucleoprotein sequences among rabies virus isolates from Estonia.
