Phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum-likelihood approach based on the complete small-segment RNA nucleotide coding sequences of representative Puumala virus (PUUV) strains detected in human cases in France, 2012–2016 (circles), and on those published and representative of PUUV strains detected in Europe. Diamonds indicate sequences of strains detected in rodents as reported elsewhere (7,8). Bootstrap percentages >70% (from 1,000 resamplings) are indicated at each node; GenBank acce

Figure 1. Phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum-likelihood approach based on the complete small-segment RNA nucleotide coding sequences of representative Puumala virus (PUUV) strains detected in human cases in France, 2012–2016 (circles), and on those published and representative of PUUV strains detected in Europe. Diamonds indicate sequences of strains detected in rodents as reported elsewhere (7,8). Bootstrap percentages >70% (from 1,000 resamplings) are indicated at each node; GenBank accession numbers are indicated for reference strains. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. ALAD, Alpe-Adrian lineage; CE, Central European lineage; DAN, Danish lineage; FIN, Finnish lineage; LAT, Latvian lineage; N-SCA, north-Scandinavian lineage; S-SCA; south-Scandinavian lineage; RUS, Russian lineage; MUJV, Muju virus; HOKV, Hokkaido virus.
