Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of Powassan virus lineage I and II from Dermacentor variabilis ticks collected in New York, USA, and reference sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of the coding sequence (genome positions 108–10,352) of 29 publicly available Powassan lineage I and II genomes. Red circle and bold text indicate the virus sequenced in this study from the D. variabilis ticks; the virus is most closely related to other lineage I sequences from ticks in New York. Sequence names consist of host; location; GenBank accession number; year.
