Overview of the genetic relationships between the main recognized genotypes of SAV based on a dataset of partial E2 sequence data (298nt). Publically available sequences derived from isolates from each subtype recognized to date were imported into Bioedit version 7.0.5.3 [76] and a multiple alignment performed using Clustal X [77]. Duplicate sequences were removed and the final alignment consisted of 36 unique sequences representing a total of 83 isolates and spanned a region of 298nt of the open reading frame of SAV E2 gene. The phylogenetic relationship among SAV isolates was inferred using the method described in the legend of Figure 2.
