Phylogenetic relationships between the genomes of the new types of Betacoronavirus and other Orthocoronavirinae genomes. The viruses in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae were classified into four genera (prototype or Refseq strains shown): Alphacoronavirus (purple), Betacoronavirus (orange), Gammacoronavirus (green), and Deltacoronavirus (blue). Classic subgroup clusters for the Betacoronavirus were labelled 2a–2d. The tree was based on complete genomes shown above using the maximum likelihood method under the GTR + I + Γ model of nucleotide substitution as implemented in PhyML. The new types of Betacoronavirus, labelled with red stars, were placed into the lineage of Betacoronavirus 2b, which contain the following: avian infectious bronchitis virus (AIBV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), porcine enteric diarrhea virus (PEDV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), SARS-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV), and Human coronavirus (HCoV).
