Phylogeny of the E genes of a tick-borne encephalitis virus isolated from goat cheese compared with related and reference TBEV strains, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, 2016 (n = 22)

Sequences were chosen to include the reference strains Neudörfl and Hypr and the genetically closely related strains to demonstrate the genetic relatedness to the strains. E gene sequence accession numbers and origin of isolates: TBEV strain MP16_05 (GenBank accession number MH704556*) and TBEV strain MP16_12 (GenBank accession number MH704555*): goat cheese isolates (this study, in bold); TBEV E gene sequence tick (Loretto, GenBank accession number MH704557*): tick sequence (this study, in bold); KC154185.1: TBEV strain HB171-11 (Germany 2011); KJ922514.1: TBEV strain Skrivanek (Czech Republic, 1953); DQ401140.3: TBEV strain Torö (Sweden, 2003); KC154199.1: TBEV strain A104 (Austria, 1990); KC154201.1: TBEV strain CG-223 (Slovak Republic, 1990); GQ266392.1: TBEV strain AS33 (Germany 2005); FJ572210.1: TBEV strain Salem 2008); AF091005.1: TBEV strain Absettarov (Russia, 1951); KU884607.1: TBEV strain Leila-BH95/15 (Germany, 2015); HM468168: TBEV strain UR Schattdorf1 (Switzerland, 2010); HM468158.1: TBEV strain TG Lommis1 (Switzerland, 2010); DZIF 15_569: TBEV strain Pitztal (Austria, 2015); HM468129.1: TBEV virus strain AG Zofingen (Switzerland, 2010); HM168142.1: TBEV strain LU Dagmarsellen (Switzerland, 2010); HM468123.1: TBEV strain AG Brittnau (Switzerland, 2010); DQ266084.1: TBEV strain 263/5 (Czech Republic, 1991); EU276109.1: TBEV strain KrM93 (South Korea, 2006); X25286.1: TBEV strain Hypr (Czech Republic, 1953); AF091020.1: virus strain ZZ9 (Austria, 1985); U27495.1: TBEV strain Neudörfl (Austria, 1971); KC154188.1: TBEV strain HM377-11 (Germany, 2011).
