Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of fragments of Zika virus was determined using the general time-reversible plus gamma distribution plus invariable site model with 13 reference Zika virus strains from GenBank. The contig sequence, obtained from de novo assembly and blastn (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&LINK_LOC=blasthome), of the Philippines isolate from 2012 (GenBank accession no. KM851038; bold font) was analyzed against 8 reference strains from Africa (GenBank accession nos. KF268948, KF268949, KF268950, LC002520, AY632535, NC012532, HQ234500, HQ234501) and 5 reference strains from Asia (GenBank accession nos. KJ776791, JN860885, EU545988, HQ234499, KF993678). The year of collection is unknown for several strains from Africa. Bootstrap values >70 are indicated at nodes. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. The drawing is not to scale.
