Phylogenetic analysis of different parapoxviruses based on nucleotide sequences of B2L gene (A) and VIR gene (B). The nucleotide sequences of diverse orf viruses were aligned using the Bioedit program and Mega 3 software. One thousand bootstrap replicates were subjected to nucleotide sequence distance and neighbor-joining methods, and the consensus phylogenetic tree is shown. All bootstrap values are displayed above the tree branches, and only bootstrap values >70% are shown.
