Figure 3

Terminal structure showing panhandle sequences for the 3′ and 5′ termini of FTuNV1 and STuNV1 genomes from piscichuvirus-infected aquatic turtles with meningoencephalomyelitis, United States, 2009–2021. Sequences were predicted by using the Vienna package RNAfold tool on Geneious (https://www.geneious.com). Offset bases indicate mispairing. Boldface bases indicate nucleotide differences between FTuNV1 and STuNV1. Dots indicate G/U pairings. The remaining genome is indicated by the loop structure (not to scale). FTuNV1, freshwater turtle neural virus 1; STuNV1, sea turtle neural virus 1.
