Table 1. Nt and amino acid identities between Finnish strains of Alongshan virus and other tick-borne JMTV-like viruses, Finland, 2019.
| Segment | Nt identity (%) | Amino acid identity (%) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALSV (Finland) | ALSV (China) | Other JMTV-like viruses | ALSV (Finland) | ALSV (China) | Other JMTV-like viruses | |
| Putative capsid/membrane | 5.3 | 9.5–9.7 | 33.1–37.7 | 1.4 | 2.4–2.8 | 29.0–36.3 |
| Putative glycoprotein | 1.5 | 8.0–8.1 | 35.9–43.1 | 0.5 | 4.4a | 38.3–51.2 |
| NS3 | 4.8 | 8.8–9.0 | 28.1–31.1 | 0.5 | 1.4–1.6 | 16.1–21.7 |
| NS5 | 4.0 | 10.5–10.6 | 28.3–32.1 | 0.9 | 2.1–2.5 | 19.8–21.6 |
ALSV: Alongshan virus; JMTV: Jingmen tick virus; Nt: nucleotide.
a Both ALSV strains from Finland have the same number of amino acid differences compared to the Chinese strain.
