Fig. 2
Phylogenetic analysis of PCV3 strains based on the full-length cap gene using the neighbour-joining method
Note: The nucleotide sequences of cap gene of PCV3 strains obtained in this study and available in GenBank were used to construct a phylogenetic tree by the neighbour-joining method. Bootstrap values were calculated with 1,000 replicates. Vertical lines are used to indicate groups (or subgroups) which were referred to in the text. Filled circles indicate the PCV3 strains identified in this study
