Fig.1 Phylogenetic tree of hepatitis E virus (HEV) isolates recovered in Greater Cairo, April 2002 to December 2007. Phylogenetic tree constructed by neighbour-joining based on the open-reading frame 2 region of the HEV genome, 189 nucleotides (a) or 97 nucleotides (b). The phylogenetic analysis includes HEV sequences recovered from Egyptian patients (sequence names are highlighted in grey for the patients of this study) and GenBank reference sequences. HEV sequence names are labelled as follows: name of the sequence, genotype, country of origin and host.
