Removing recombinant taxa stabilized the reconstructed phylogeny of mother–child transmission. SplitsTree inference of mother–child pair M1001/P1024 (a) and the corresponding dichotomous phylogeny of the non-recombinant taxa after removal of the h-PHI-detected recombinant taxa (b). Maternal non-recombinant taxa are labeled with bold text names, and child non-recombinant taxa are labeled with plain text names. Recombinant taxa are labeled by filled (maternal) or unfilled (child) circles. Unfilled squares denote hypermutated taxa. Stars in the phylogeny (panel b) indicate robust cladistic support (aLRT > 0.90). The deduced transmitted forms (TF-1 and TF-2) are indicated in the phylogeny. The scale bar in the phylogeny is in units of substitutions/site
