Figures & data

Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis and demographic reconstruction of ZIKV genome sequences. Phylogenetic trees of full-length ZIKV genome sequences from the Asian lineage since 2013 (A: maximum likelihood; B: BEAST using a strict molecular clock). In both (A) and (B), viruses from Brazil are labeled in red, those from other Latin American/Caribbean countries in blue, and those from outside Latin America in green. The arrows in both panels represent the introduction event of ZIKV to Latin America. (C) The demographic reconstruction of the complete ZIKV genome sequences of the Asian lineage since 2013. This was estimated using the uncorrelated lognormal relaxed molecular clock and the GMRF Bayesian skyride model. Abbreviations: Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees, BEAST; Gaussian Markov random field, GMRF; Zika virus, ZIKV.
