Phylogenetic tree constructed based on the 245 CDV hemagglutinin (H) gene sequences from 27 countries and 17 lineages, including the five samples collected from dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) in Nepal, this clade is highlighted in light red. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using the Bayesian inference method in MrBayes with a run of 2,000,000 iterations, sub sampling per 2,000 iterations and discarding 25% of sample for burn-in. The tips of the phylogenetic tree are colored based on the family of their host species/origin. Common CDV vaccines were highlighted in red, Canidae except dogs were highlighted in green, dogs were in blue, Mustelidae in purple, Felidae in orange and all remaining were in black color. Posterior probability values of nodes estimated by Bayesian inference are indicated on the tree
