Figure 2

Neighbor-joining tree of full-length SGA env sequences for ZM282M. Blue and red sequences represent the initial infection and superinfection sequences, respectively, from the acutely infected subject ZM282M; black sequences are derived from the epidemiologically unlinked cohabiting partner ZM282F, who is chronically infected. The time points are indicated along with M or F for each sequence (i.e. M_8 is the acutely infected ZM282M at 8 months post seroconversion). The ZM282F "0" time point corresponds to seroconversion of ZM282M. The duration of infection for ZM282F is not known. Bootstrap values > 80 are considered statistically significant. Sequences denoted by circles indicate the parental sequences (blue, red circle) and those denoted by stars identify potential recombinant daughter sequences that were used for recombination analyses (below).
