| Nucleocapsid protein (% sequence nonidentity) | ||||||||
Nonidentities (uncorrected p-model distances) among the amino acid sequences of the glycoprotein precursors (GPC) and among the amino acid sequences of the nucleocapsid (N) proteins are listed above and below the diagonal, respectively.
BBTV, Big Brushy Tank virus strains AV D0390174 and AV D0390324; BCNV, Bear Canyon virus strains AV A0060209, AV A0070039, AV 98470029, and AV B0300052; CTNV, Catarina virus strains AV A0400135 and AV A0400212; SKTV, Skinner Tank virus strain AV D1000090; TAMV, Tamiami virus strains W·10777 and AV 97140103; TTCV, Tonto Creek virus strains AV D0150144 and AV D0390060; WWAV, Whitewater Arroyo species complex---Whitewater Arroyo virus prototype strain AV 9310135 and viruses AV 96010024, AV 96010025, AV 96010151, TVP·6038, AV 98490013, AV D1240007, and AV H0380005. Nonidentities between the sequences of the GPC of strains of the same species ranged from 1.4% (BCNV strains AV A0070039 and AV 98470029) to 11.2% (TTCV strains AV D0150144 and AV D0390060), nonidentities between the sequences of the N proteins of strains of the same species ranged from 0.4% (BCNV strains AV A0070039 and AV 98470029) to 5.7% (BCNV strains AV A0070039 and AV B0300052), and nonidentities between the sequences of the GPC and between the sequences of the N proteins of the 8 viruses included in the Whitewater Arroyo species complex ranged from 1.0% (TVP·6038 and AV 98490013) to 25.8% (AV 96010024 and AV D1240007) and from 0.2% (TVP·6038 and AV 98490013) to 10.5% (AV 96010024 and AV 96010025), respectively.
