Phylogenetic analysis of orthopoxvirus TNFR open reading sequences of the current Zairian isolate compared with cognate sequences of monkeypox virus strains from Zaire in previous years and selected non-Zairian monkeypox strains, variola (VAR), gerbilpox (GBL), and vaccinia (VAC) viruses Nucleotide sequences of genome PCR-generated amplicons were determined using dye-terminated, primer-walking, fluorescence-based Sanger-type reactions. Maximum parsimony analysis of aligned sequences provided bootstrap confidence intervals (values in bold) after 1000 heuristic search replicates weighted for a transition to transversion ratio of 2 (PAUP software version 3·1·1).
