Figure 2. Consensus sequences for lineage 1 and lineage 3 WNV in serum and after Vp1 in samples from a patient with neuroinvasive disease and evidence of lineage 1 and 3 WNV infection, Nebraska, USA, 2023. Lineage 1 and lineage 3 WNV are distinct at the consensus level compared with Vp1 and historical strains. A, B) The consensus sequence of lineage 1 WNV in serum was compared with that of Vp1 (A), and those 2 sequences were then compared with the prototypical North American lineage 1 WNV strain, NY99 (B). C) Serum lineage 3 WNV consensus sequence was compared with the partial lineage 3 WNV sequences determined from Vp1 and CSF and historical lineage 3 WNV strains. C, capsid; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; E, envelope; NS, nonstructural; prM, premembrane; Vp1, Vero passage 1; WNV, West Nile virus.
