The partial sequences of VP1 region of EV-D68 were analyzed and used for a maximum likelihood phylogram. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by maximum likelihood estimation method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates using MEGA 7.0 software. The evolutionary distances were derived using the Tamura 3 parameter model. Numbers at nodes, which indicate bootstrap support values (≥70%), are given. Sequences in GenBank were also included in the analysis. Strain name, country of origin, year of detection and accession numbers are shown for each strain. Sequences of EVD68 strains from Senegal are depicted in blue with the red dots symbolizing strains from AFP patients and the blue ones strains from ILI patients.
