Phylogenetic analysis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) isolates from domesticated animals. The evolutionary relationship of small segments of SFTSV isolated from domesticated animals, SFTS patients and ticks was calculated by using the neighbor-joining method with MEGA 5 (8). Sequences are labeled with the order of GenBank accession number/name of viral strain/year of isolation. Black circles indicate the original sequences of SFTSV strains obtained from domesticated

Figure 6. . . Phylogenetic analysis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) isolates from domesticated animals. The evolutionary relationship of small segments of SFTSV isolated from domesticated animals, SFTS patients and ticks was calculated by using the neighbor-joining method with MEGA 5 (8). Sequences are labeled with the order of GenBank accession number/name of viral strain/year of isolation. Black circles indicate the original sequences of SFTSV strains obtained from domesticated animals in this study; black triangles indicated the original sequences of SFTSV strains obtained from SFTS patients in 2011 in this study; blank triangles indicate the previously published sequences of SFTSV strains obtained from 11 SFTS patients in 2010 (1); and open diamonds indicate the previously published sequences of SFTSV strains obtained from H. longicornis ticks in 2010 (3).
