![Phylogenetic tree of TOSV identified in 8 patients, Bucharest and surrounding area, Romania, 2017–2018, and reference sequences. Red diamonds indicate sequence obtained in this study; the other sequences included in the analysis were retrieved from GenBank. Numbers at nodes represent bootstrap percentages (values <50% are not shown). Phylogenetic relatedness was inferred from a 111-nt sequence of nucleocapsid gene, small segment (positions 1392–1502, numbering according to GenBank accession no. NC_006318.1) by using the neighbor-joining, Kimura 2-parameter method and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. SFNS, sandfly fever Naples virus; TOSV, Toscana virus.](/eid/images/20-4598-F1.jpg)
