Evaluation of “WY-like” strains detected in the US with representatives of other CDV lineages: AF378705 (A1, America-1); Z54166 (A2, America-2); HM771716 (A3, America-3 Edomex); KJ74971(A4, America-4); JF283477^* (WY- 2010); AB687720 (AS1, Asia 1); AB474397 (AS2, Asia 2); FJ461723 (AFRICA); DQ226087 (Arctic); Z47761 (EU/SA1, Europe/South America 1); AM422850 (SA2, South America 2); KF835420 (SA3, South America 3). Samples from this study represented by assigned sample (S) number and state in which the dog was located
*A canine distemper strain that was previously reported in association with an outbreak in Wyoming, which was linked to a domestic dog-breeding facility in Kansas in 2010 (Fig. 1, green clade)¹⁹
