Phylogenetic analysis of the VP4 (A) and VP7 (B) genes from RVA identified strains. (A) Genotypes P[6] (closed circles), P[4] (closed squares), and P[8] (closed diamonds) (B) G1 (closed circles) and G2 (closed squares) detected in Bengo, Northwestern Angola. The analysis involved, respectively for VP4 and VP7, 53 and 46 nucleotide sequences and a total of 468 and 627 positions in the final datasets. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using a distance-based neighbour-joining method, based on the Kimura 2-parameter model, with 1,000 bootstrap resamplings (percent bootstrap values of more than 70 are indicated at each node). The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths proportional to the evolutionary distances.
