Figure 2

Phylogenetic relationship of HEV sequences derived from wild boars and deer from Germany, 2013–2015. The tree is based on a 280-bp fragment of the ORF1 (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene) region. The strain designations, animal species (Wb, wild boar), sample type, and sampling year (season A, 2013–2014; season B: 2014–2015) are indicated for the novel strains. The GenBank accession numbers, the corresponding hosts, the geographic origins and genotypes are indicated for selected additional strai

The strain designations, animal species (Wb, wild boar), sample type, and sampling year (season A, 2013–2014; season B: 2014–2015) are indicated for the novel strains. The GenBank accession numbers, the corresponding hosts, the geographic origins and genotypes are indicated for selected additional strains. Reference strains are given in bold; the genotype of the novel strains is indicated at right. Bootstrap values >50% are shown. The tree is scaled in nucleotide substitution units and was constructed using MEGALIGN software (ClustalW [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalw2/], IUB residue weight table, 1,000 trials and 111 random seeds in bootstrap analysis). HEV, hepatitis E virus; ORF, open reading frame.
