The bootstrap original phylogenetic tree of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3a isolates from different regions of the world based on complete genome sequences inferred from 500 replicates representing the evolutionary relationship. Branches corresponding to partitions reproduced in less than 50% bootstrap replicates are clustered together while; branch lengths are measured by the scale in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances. GenBank accession numbers, genotype and place of isolation are mentioned for all the isolates. (a) UPGMA analysis (b) Neighbour-Joining method describing the evolutionary relationship between the HCV full length sequences.
