Phylogenetic tree of the VP8* fragment of the VP4 genes of Ghanaian P[8]b strains (637 nt), P[8]a and published P[8]b strains constructed by the neighbor-joining method with MEGA 6.06 software and rooted with the human rotavirus strain, DS-1. Variation scale (nucleotide substitution per site) is indicated below the phylogenetic tree. Percentage bootstrap support is indicated by values at each node, and values ≥70 % are shown. P[8]b strains analysed in the present study are indicated by closed circles. Reference sequences used in the analysis were obtained from the GenBank database. Phylogenetic distance was measured by Kimura two-parameter model. Phylogenetic trees were supported statistically by bootstrapping with 1000 replicates
