Phylogenetic neighbor-joining analysis of a 781-nucleotide fragment of the WNV NS5 gene (corresponding nucleotide positions 9076–9856 of the B956 strain, GenBank accession number AY532665) detected in patients with severe WNV NID in Croatia, 2018, and representative WNV strains. GenBank accession numbers, countries of origins, and isolation/detection years are indicated at the branches. Viruses from Croatia that were sequenced in this study are marked in bold and red color. WNV genetic lineages suggested by Rizzoli et al. (2015) [22] are indicated on the right. Lineage 7 could not be included in the analysis due to only partial sequence availability. Supporting (≥50%) bootstrap values of 1000 replicates are displayed at the nodes. Horizontal distances are proportional to genetic distance. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. The interrupted branches, indicated by double slashes, were shortened by 50% for better graphic representation.
