Molecular Phylogenetic analysis by Maximum Likelihood method of APMV6 partial FP gene The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Kimura 2-parameter model⁷¹. The tree with the highest log likelihood (−1837.17) is shown. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying Neighbor-Join and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using the Maximum Composite Likelihood (MCL) approach, and then selecting the topology with superior log likelihood value. A discrete Gamma distribution was used to model evolutionary rate differences among sites (5 categories (+G, parameter = 0.4985)). The rate variation model allowed for some sites to be evolutionarily invariable ([+I], 59.29% sites). The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 8 nucleotide sequences. Codon positions included were 1st+2nd+3rd+Noncoding. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 651 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7⁶³.
