Figure 3. Genotypes of Korean SFTSVs isolated from human sera.
The SFTSVs were assigned to different genotypes based on the genetic origin of each segment as determined by phylogenic analysis. The SFTSVs were differentiated into at least 15 genotypes, including genetic reassortant viruses. Gene segments from top to bottom are L, M, and S. The bars indicate pure groups of genotypes (A) A (red), B-1 (yellow), B-2 (black), B-3 (light blue), C (purple), D (blue), E (pink), F (green); and reassortant groups of genotypes (B) R-1 to R-9, including the unique clustering genotype (gray).
