Figure 1. Schematic representation of the BFV genome showing location of amino acid differences between the PNG_BFV (MN115377) isolate from a child in Papua New Guinea and prototype strain BH2193 (RefSeq accession no. NC_001786.1). Amino acid substitutions in the PNG_BFV genome are shown in nonstructural proteins nsP1–4 (n = 19) and structural proteins C, E1–3, and 6K (n = 9) and listed below the schematic. BFV, Barmah Forest virus; C, capsid; E, envelope; nsP, nonstructural protein; PNG, Papua New Guinea.
