The upper triangle represents similarity while the lower triangle represents divergence. A8.789, A10.825, A10.881, and 10-1827 represent the ROK mosquito pools. JEV reference strains are shown for 5 genotypes: I (K01-JN, K05-GS), II (FU), III (Nakayama), IV (JKT6468), and V (Muar). Percent similarity/divergence was computed using the MegAlign program (Lasergene v.8 software, USA). Numbers in parentheses represent the JEV genotype.
