Figure 2 Phylogenetic tree constructed on complete nucleotide sequences of 26 HBV isolates. The nine HBV genotype E isolates were compared along with 16 HBV isolates representative of the other six genotypes (A–D, F and G), along with woolly monkey hepatitis virus (WMHBV) as an outgroup. The four HBV genotype E isolates determined in this study are indicated in boldface, and the other 22 HBV isolates are specified by accession numbers. The country of origin is indicated after the slash for each HBV isolate of genotype E.
