The phylogenetic tree constructed by the ML method based on nucleotide sequences of 211 bp fragment of the E gene of TBEV. The scale-bar indicates an evolutionary distance of 0.05 nucleotides per position in the sequence. Significant bootstrap values (>70%) are shown on the nodes. The sequences of prototype TBEV strains and outgroup virus (Langat virus) from GenBank database are in boldface. Legend: ● I. pavlovskyi ticks; ▲ I. persulcatus ticks
