Figure 1
A phylogenetic tree for the gp85 gene sequences of avian leukosis virus (ALV) isolated from chicken breeds indigenous to China and compared with ALV reference strains of different subgroups. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA software (version 5.1; www.megasoftware.net) with the neighbor-joining method. The bootstrap values were calculated with 1000 replicates of the alignment. The bootstrap values for major ALV subgroups are shown. All of the reference sequences were acquired from the GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank). JS: isolated from Jiangsu province; ZJ: isolated from Zhejiang province; SD: isolated from Shandong province. DX: isolated from Dongxiang Blue-shelled chickens. LH: isolated from Wenshang Luhua chickens. LY: isolated from Langya chickens. TH: isolated from Taihewugu chickens. QJ: isolated from Partridge Shank chickens. QD: isolated from Qiandongnan chickens. LS: isolated from Longsheng Feng chickens. DXH: isolated from Dongxiang Black chickens. The GenBank accession numbers of the sequences are shown after the name of the virus. The scale bar indicates the nucleotide substitutions per site.
