Phylogenetic tree of Usutu virus strains, Israel, 2014–2015. A) Structural protein genes. B) Nonstructural protein 5 genes. Analysis was conducted by using the maximum-likelihood method implemented in MEGA 6.0 software (http://www.megasoftware.net/). Robustness of branching pattern was tested by using 1,000 bootstrap replications. Percentage of successful bootstrap replicates is indicated at nodes (only values >70% are shown). Diamonds indicate virus strains sequenced in this study. Reference
