Phylogenetic analysis of 26 human coronavirus 229E-related coronavirus sequences in study of ongoing evolution of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Saudi Arabia, 2023–2024. Tree was constructed by using the maximum-likelihood method. Red text indicates sequences from this study, 5 from Jeddah and 2 from Sajir. Numbers on nodes indicate bootstrap support. Tree was rooted with the bat sequence KT253269/Bat/GHA/KW2E-F151 (GenBank accession no. KT253269). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. GER, Germany; GHA, Ghana; KEN, Kenya; KSA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; USA, United States of America.
