Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree reconstructed from HMPV complete F gene sequences. The tree was reconstructed using the GTR +G + I substitution model with 1000 bootstraps. Fourteen complete F gene sequences (thirteen from GenBank, indicated with accession numbers, and one from10) were included for the tree topology. Viruses sequenced in this study that contain a 111-nucleotide duplication in the G gene that was confirmed by Sanger sequencing of the G gene are underlined.
