Fig. 2: Phylogeny of novel insect-specific viruses (ISVs) identified in whitefly B. tabaci with other related viruses.

Trees for Arlivirus (a), Nidovirales (b), Flaviviridae (c), Martellivirales (d), Picornavirales (e), Totiviridae (f), and Orthomyxoviridae (g) are based on the maximum likelihood method and inferred from conserved viral RdRp domains. Novel ISVs identified in this study are shown in red font. Nodes with bootstrap values >50% are marked with solid blue circles, and the larger circles indicate higher bootstrap values. In panels c–f, a taxonomic overview of viruses at order or family level are shown on the left, and a close-up view of the viruses of interest in this study are shown in the dotted frames on the right. The viral sequences used in this study were extracted from GenBank: the accession numbers and other related details are listed in Supplementary Table 2.
