From: Hepatitis C virus prevalence and genetic diversity among pregnant women in Gabon, central Africa
Phylogenetic analysis of HCV NS5B sequences. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed from Gabonese isolates from pregnant women, and published reference sequences for the various HCV genotypes were obtained from GenBank. The Kimura two-parameter method of estimating genetic distance was used. Numbers next to the nodes of the tree represent bootstrap values (1000 replicates). In genotype 4, sequences found in Gabon are indicated in bold. The GenBank accession numbers of the new NS5b sequences of HCV from Gabon are EU0334530 to EU0334534.
