Phylogenetic analysis of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) was conducted on the complete nucleoprotein (small genomic segment, nt ≈50–1,500) (A), a 900-bp fragment of the glycoprotein precursor (medium genomic segment, nt ≈4190–5060) (B), and a 1,200-bp fragment of the viral polymerase (large genomic segment, nt ≈590–1760) (C). The fragments were amplified from pooled ticks, and sequence analysis was conducted by using ClustalW (www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalw2/). Trees were constru
