Figure 1.
Geographic locations of Ebola HF outbreaks and phylogenetic relationships of representative filoviruses.
(A) Map of Africa showing the sites of all known ebolavirus outbreaks denoted by colored circles for Zaire ebolavirus (yellow), Sudan ebolavirus (green), and Côte d'Ivoire ebolavirus (red). The expanded map of Uganda shows the location of the communities of Bundibugyo and Kikyo (black circles) in western Uganda, the site of the recent outbreak of Bundibugyo ebolavirus. Also shown on the Uganda map are the cities of Kampala (capital), Entebbe (international airport) and Gulu (the site of an outbreak of Sudan ebolavirus in 2000, the largest known Ebola HF outbreak on record). (B) Phylogenetic tree comparing full-length genomes of ebolavirus and marburgvirus by Bayesian analysis. Posterior probabilities greater than 0.5 and maximum likelihood bootstrap values greater than 50 are indicated at the nodes.
