Phylogenetic trees based on HIV-1 p24 gag (A) and C2-V3 env (B) regions including sequences from Eastern European and Middle-East Countries. Nucleotide sequences of Mashhad isolates are compared with HIV-1 reference strains of Group M subtypes including a larger number of A-subtype reference sequences from Sub-Saharan African Countries along with sequences from Eastern European and Middle-East Countries. Trees have been constructed as in Fig. 1. The Mashhad sequences are indicated in bold characters. Sequence groups from different geographical regions are indicated.
