Figure 2

Maximum clade credibility tree using full nucleoprotein gene sequences of RABV variants identified in New Mexico, USA, and representative sequences from RABV variants in the Western Hemisphere. Values in the nodes indicate estimates for the posterior clade probability for each RABV variants. Branch in blue indicates novel RABV variant that includes the 2 isolates from Lincoln County, and branch in green indicates RABV associated with Nyctinomops macrotis bats. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. RABV, rabies virus.
