Individuals of this species have demonstrated less genetic difference. The present findings will be beneficial for taxonomists and future researchers of the region.

Two of the three samples were closely related (98.2%) while the third clustered with isolate from Gabon (98.7%). The third isolate may be a new subtype but this will require an in-depth exploration on sequence variability in at least two coding regions.
