Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of Yezo virus strains in study of transboundary movement of Yezo virus via ticks on migratory birds, Japan, 2020–2021. Trees were constructed by using the maximum-likelihood method in MEGA X (https://www.megasoftware.net) and 1,000 bootstrap replicates for nucleotide sequences. A) Large segment; B) medium segment; C) small segment. Black circles indicate sequences from this study. The number at each branch indicates the bootstrap value. GenBank accession numbers for nucleotide sequences are shown in parentheses. Sulina virus IxriSL16-01 was used as the outgroup to determine the root of Yezo virus trees but is not shown. Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
