Alignment of the amino acid sequence surrounding the chikungunya virus E1-226 region.

<p>Amino acid sequence corresponding to the E1 gene was translated from the nucleotide sequences of the three Sri Lankan isolates and compared the amino acid sequences of the isolates described in Schuffennecker et al 2006, PLoS Med and Kumar et al 2008, JGV [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B10" target="_blank">10</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B11" target="_blank">11</a>]. Position E1-226 is highlighted (E1-226 corresponds to position 1035 in the polyprotein). </p

Phylogenetic relationship of Sri Lankan chikungunya virus (CHIKV) isolates.

<p>Sequences corresponding to the CHIKV structural genes from the six Sri Lankan isolates were compared to published CHIKV sequences [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B6" target="_blank">6</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B8" target="_blank">8</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B10" target="_blank">10</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B11" target="_blank">11</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082259#B16" target="_blank">16</a>].
