Phylogenetic analysis of the partial genomes of the PCV2 from this study with other sequences from GenBank. To further compare the derived sequences in this study with globally reported PCV2 sequences curated in GenBank, a phylogeny was performed using reference sequences from different geographic regions of the world in order to determine the evolutionary origins of the study sequences. The tree was constructed using 64 partial genomes of PCV2 (1041 nt) which comprised of 17 strains from this study and 47 other sequences obtained from GenBank while PCV1 sequence served as an out-group. The construction was done by using a Neighbor Joining algorithm and the percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The only PCV2 strain previously submitted to the GenBank from South Africa is indicated with the black square box. Analyses were conducted in MEGA6 [38]
