Phylogenetic analysis of E183L (p54) of ASFV
The phylogenetic analysis of the p54 protein of ASFV revealed
that all Nigerian sequences clustered with some sequences from West
African countries belonging to genotype 1a (Fig 3). The phylogenetic
tree was constructed using sequences of 16 genotypes retrieved from the
Genbank. Comparison of sequences from this study and recent sequences
from other West African countries showed 99-100% similarity with
sequences from Cameroon (MG596464, MG596468), Ivory Coast (MH836355),
and Mali (MT886241).
