Fig. 3.

Phylogenetic analysis of the partial F gene of 38 nucleotide sequences of porcine parainfluenza virus 1 (PPIV1). Only bootstrap values higher than 75 are shown, and these are at nodes. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. Red dot – sequence obtained in this research; two-letter, six-digit code – GenBank accession number; slash-separated fields – geographic origin/isolate identifier/year
