Figure 1. Maximum likelihood tree comparing DENV-1 complete E gene sequences (1485 base pairs).
Strain names and respective genotypes are given including locally transmitted viruses (Townsville, Cairns, and Mareeba). GenBank accession numbers of retrieved global strains are shown in brackets. Bootstrap support values derived from 1,000 replicate NJ trees are represented for principal nodes >70%. DENV-2 strain Townsville 2004 was used as an outgroup control.
