Phylogenetic analysis of HEV strains from pigs in San Jose, Tarlac Province, the Philippines. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method (Kimura 2-parameter model) based on 301 nucleotides of ORF2 of HEV. Strains from this study were labeled with ● and tagged with household name (in capital letters) from where they originated. HEV genotype 3 strains from rivers in Manila, the Philippines, which were labeled with ▲, with GenBank accession numbers of KF546258, 546261, 546262, 546271, 546274, and 546277, were also included. Other reference strains were representatives of genotypes 1, 2, and 4 and subtypes 3a–3 g of genotype 3 in other countries. Reference strains were indicated as genotypes or subtypes, name, country, and GenBank accession number. The numbers on branches were bootstrap values (1,000 replicates; values less than 50% were not shown).
