Phylogenetic analysis of partial (≈200 bp) nonstructural protein 3 gene sequences of Zika virus strains performed by using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods. A substitution model was based on a general time-reversible model with gamma-distributed rate variation and a proportion of invariant sites. Numbers at the nodes represent posterior probability values (clade credibilities >90%) and percentage bootstrap support values (>70%) based on 1,000 replicates. GenBank accession numbers, strain name, year of isolation, and country of origin for sequences used to construct the tree are indicated on the branches. The tree was rooted with Spondweni virus (GenBank accession no. DQ859064). Strain Tahiti (from patient who had traveled to Tahiti, this study) is indicated in boldface. The scale bar represents genetic distance in nucleotide substitutions per site. The lineage of each virus is indicated to the right of the tree.
