Figure 2

Phylogenetic analyses of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) isolates from 2 cheetahs, Japan, 2017. The phylogenetic trees constructed based on large (A), medium (B), and smal (C) segment RNA nucleotide sequences of isolates SkrP/2017 from cheetah 1 and ArtSp/2017 from cheetah 2 (underlined) with representative SFTSV isolates. Isolates from human cases reported in the same prefecture as the zoo are indicated with black dots. The trees were calculated using MrBayes version 3

Figure 2. Phylogenetic analyses of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) isolates from 2 cheetahs, Japan, 2017. The phylogenetic trees constructed based on large (A), medium (B), and small (C) segment RNA nucleotide sequences of isolates SkrP/2017 from cheetah 1 and ArtSp/2017 from cheetah 2 (underlined) with representative SFTSV isolates. Isolates from human cases reported in the same prefecture as the zoo are indicated with black dots. The trees were calculated using MrBayes version 3.2.6 (http://mrbayes.sourceforge.net) with the general time reversible plus gamma plus invariate sites substitution model. Numbers beside nodes indicate posterior probabilities. Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
