5 Phylogenetic analysis and epidemiological profiles of Geno newly identified geno-4 patients in the Amstedam area Phylogenetic analysis revealed three monophyletic clusters Each cluster is associated to a specific epidemiological profile C1: Immigrants from Egypt (4a) C2: Individuals reporting IDU (4d) C3: HIV positive MSM (4d) (Bruijne Jd et al, J Clin Microbiol 2009)
