Relatedness of assemblage B and E sequencing types using distance matrix analysis. The sequencing fragments of samples with the complete information at all three gene loci were concatenated in the order of the tpi-bg-gdh sequences. The resulting sequencing fragments (1358 bp) were subsequently aligned using ClustalW. Shown are the deduced distance matrices for assemblage B (A) and assemblage E (B) sequencing types. Numbers and heatmap indicate nucleotide residues not identical between two sequences. We revealed only two complete type A sequences and these were excluded from the analysis. (A) Eight unique type B sequences could be analyzed. (B) 25 unique sequences (of a total of 29 type E sequences) were retrieved and analyzed. Samples 31b/C7 and 33c/B7 were identical as well as samples 40b/C7, 41a/C1, 43a/B1 and 43a/C2.
