Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree showing the relatedness between the Vietnamese SARS-CoV-2 sub-lineage A.23.1 (in red) obtained from the present study and representatives of global A.23.1 strains (B). Continents or countries from where A.23.1 has been documented are color-coded. Africa includes Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana. Europe covers non-UK countries, including Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark. Asia includes United Arab Emirates. Americas includes Canada and United States. Similar to A.23.1 strains identified elsewhere, all the Vietnamese strains carried the four defining single nucleotide polymorphisms (F157L, V367F, Q613H and P681R) in the spike protein.
