Phylogenetic inferences of the HPgV-1 isolates based on E2 region. Phylogenetic tree was constructed using Neighbour joining method and Kimura two-parameter model of the E2 region of HPgV-1. The E2 sequences from Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea (n = 9) were compared to selected references spanning genotype 1 to 6 from different countries available in the NCBI database including; KP701602.1, KM670109, U36380, KP710600, KC618399, AB003291 (Genotype 1, Pink); AF121950, MK686596, D90600 (Genotype 2; 2a Brown), U63715 (Genotype 2; 2b Brown) D87714 (Genotype 3, Green); AB0188667 (Genotype 4, Brown); AY94977, KC618401, AY951979 (Genotype 5, Light blue) and AB003292 (Genotype 6, Green). Equatorial Guinean and Tanzanian strains identified in this study are denoted by strain number followed with letters EG or TZ, respectively (Red). Chimpanzee HPgV-1 strain (AF70476, Black) was used as outgroup and U4402 (Genotype 2, Golden) was used for mapping of our sequences to identify regions of similarity. The scale bar under the tree indicates nucleotide substitution per site
