Figure 4.
Phylogenetic tree of the partial E gene sequences generated in this study together with 67 TBEV strains retrieved from GenBank. Sequences obtained in this study are shown in bold, while those identified in the Province of Trento in 2006 (Italy-TN) and in Friuli Venezia Giulia in 2013 (Italy-FVG) are underlined. Only bootstrap values exceeding 70% are shown. The scale bar indicates 0.05 nucleotide substitutions per site.
