First complete-genome documentation of HIV-1 intersubtype superinfection with transmissions of diverse recombinants over time to five recipients
Fig 5
The presumed transmission relationship among six HIV-1-infected MSM.
This hypothesis is based on the analysis of recombination forms and the estimated tMRCA of concatenated CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC segments of six HIV-1-infected patients. The superinfected patient is the putative donor and the other five patients are the putative recipients. The same color between donor and five recipients represents the similar or identical recombinants between them. The dotted line indicates that the recombinants might be transmitted directly or indirectly from the donor to putative five recipients. The tMRCA shown here is the mean tMRCA of concatenated CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC segments, 95% HPD is shown in parenthesis. tMRCA, time of the most common ancestor; 95% HPD, 95% highest probability density.
