Nucleotide alignments of novel AHFV sequences obtained from Hyalomma marginatum sensu lato ticks (likely H. rufipes) with reference AHFV and KFDV sequences. A) Partial alignment of 5′ untranslated region of AHFV obtained from tick collected from bird in Andikíthira, Greece, 2010, with corresponding reference sequences of AHFV (GenBank accession no. JF416957) and KFDV (GenBank accession no. HM055369). B) Partial alignment of premembrane sequence of AHFV obtained from tick collected from bird in T
