Occurrence of Typical Domestic Animal Viruses in Wild Carnivorans: An Emerging Threat to the Conservation of Endangered Species

Figure 3

Phylogenetic tree based on 14 partial nucleotide sequences (489 nts) of the U3 (LTR) gag region of FeLV, constructed with the maximum likelihood method using the Kimura 2 model software MEGA v. 11.0.10 [33]. The numbers next to each node represent the values of 1,000 bootstrap repetitions [36], with only those greater than 50% shown. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site. Samples are identified with GenBank accession number host species and geographic region. The sequence of this study is identified in bold.
