Phylogenetic Tree. Phylogenetic analysis of Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) variants was performed using a 531-bp sequence in the CCHFV L segment encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (position 2717–3248) and the neighbour-joining method with BioNumerics software for Windows (version 5.1, Applied Maths). Sequences were: (i) retrieved from GenBank (L); (ii) experimentally obtained from supernatants of CCHFV-infected cell cultures or from infected human serum (Seq); or (iii) the results output from the microarray (Chip) (*).
