Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree based on the complete small RNA nucleotide coding sequences of Seoul virus (SEOV) strains isolated from 3 patients and rodents in contact with the patients infected with SEOV, France 2014–2016, and representative strains of SEOV and other hantavirus species. Triangles indicate sequences of strains detected in wild brown rats (this study) associated with a serologically confirmed human infection reported by Bour A et al. (6); squares indicate sequences of strains detected in case-patient 2 and in his pet brown rat; and circles indicate sequences of strains detected in case-patient 3 and 1 of his farmed brown rats. Bootstrap percentages >70% (from 500 resamplings) are indicated at each node; GenBank accession numbers are indicated for reference strains.Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
