Phylogenetic relationship of novel Zika virus (ZIKV) sequences. Alignments and phylogenetic maximum likelihood tree based on the Jukes–Cantor model of 14 nucleotide sequences showing the relationship between metagenomic reads matching ZIKV bait sequences and ZIKV isolates; consensus sequence of read pair 21,190 (read21190.cons) resembles MH544701.1 sequence with 100% sequence identity; the consensus sequence of read pair 17,018 (read17018.cons; MZ126475) represents a novel ZIKV sequence, most closely related to KX806557.3; the tree was rooted to the homologous sequence of dengue virus 2, which was used as an outlier
