A previous phylogenetic analysis based on 32 full-length sequences of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) suggested three major phylogenetic groups (phylogroups) with distinct geographic distribution: (1) western strains from Europe and North America, (2) isolates from Asia and one American strain and (3) isolates from Africa only. Here, we sequenced the genomes of additional 10 clinical HSV-1 isolates from...
