Evolutionary relationships of amino acid sequences of the herpesviruses DNA polymerase of Macaviruses and MCFVs. The MCFV group includes both Macaviruses and non-Macaviruses. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree, presented as a circular phylogram, was generated from an alignment of the ten herpesvirus partial DNA polymerase catalytic subunit amino acid sequences produced in this study (H1, H2, H3, H7, H8, H9, H10, H11, H12 and H13) with thirteen Macavirus and MCFVs DNA polymerase catalytic subunit amino acid reference sequences obtained from GenBank. The bootstrap probability for clades was obtained from 1000 replicates and is shown next to each node. Distance scale represents difference between sequences in substitutions per site. Macavirus and MCFVs are represented with different colours: black (Macavirus) and dark purple (MCFVs). HiGHV-1 (Hippotragine γ-herpesvirus 1) and MCFV-oryx have identical partial DNA polymerase amino acid sequences [9].
