Genotypes were determined by multiple sequence alignment to genotype-specific reference sequences (Figure S1) using T-coffee version 13.45.0.4846264 [31]. 1 The GenBank accession numbers of published gB sequences are: TB40E strain (ABV71586.1), VR1814 strain (ACZ79977.1), and Merlin strain (AAR31620.1). 2 The GenBank accession numbers of published gN sequences are: VR1814 strain (ACZ79984.1) and Merlin strain (F5HHQ0.1). 3 The GenBank accession number of the published gO sequence is: VR1814 strain (ACZ79985.1). 4 The GenBank accession numbers of published gH sequences are: TB40E strain (ABV71597.1), VR1814 strain (ACZ79986.1), and Merlin strain (YP_081523.1).
