Main Article

Figure 3

Phylogenetic tree of a representative tick-borne encephalitis virus (boldface) from samples collected from a wild chamois and ticks in the Lombardy region of Italy. Tree shows the relationship between the obtained sequence of a 224-bp portion of the nonstructural 5 gene and reference sequences from GenBank (accession numbers, country, and year of isolation provided). The phylogenetic analysis was performed on the homologous sequences by the maximum-likelihood method using IQ-TREE software (http://www.iqtree.org), after alignment.
