Figure S1 - Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Sequenced Directly from Questing and Blood-Feeding Ticks Reveals Quasispecies Variance

Phylogenetic analysis based on open reading frame sequences of TBEV. Nucleotide sequences of 90 strains were analyzed by the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method with a total of 10237 positions in the final dataset. The evolutionary history was tested by using the ML method based on the GTR +G+I as the best-fit substitution model. The bootstrap confidence is based on 500 replicates of the ML analysis. Omsk sequences were used as outgroup. Evolutionary analysis was conducted in MEGA5 and the Genbank accession numbers are indicated.
