Phylogenetic tree constructed by using the neighbor-joining method and based on a partial (205 nt) sequence of the envelope protein 1 gene of chikungunya virus that was imported to metropolitan France from Martinique. Phylogenetic analysis includes reference sequences of chikungunya viruses from East/Central/South African (ECSA), West African (WA), and Asian (A) lineages. Sequences are indicated as GenBank accession number and country. The imported chikungunya strain isolated in this study is indicated in boldface. Bootstrap support values (100 replicates) are indicated at major nodes. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
