From: Marek’s disease in chicken farms from Northwest Ethiopia: gross pathology, virus isolation, and molecular characterization

Fig. 5

Phylogenetic relationship between 24 marek’s disease virus strains including the 5 strains from Northwest Ethiopia based on ICP4 gene partial sequences using MEGA 11. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method and Kimura 2-parameter model [33]. The bootstrap consensus tree inferred from 1000 replicates [34] is taken to represent the evolutionary history of the taxa analyzed. Bootstrap support values are given in decimals. Codon positions included were 1st + 2nd + 3rd + Noncoding. There were a total of 401 positions in the final dataset. Taxa highlighted in blue represent MDV-1 isolates from the present study
