Phylogenetic characterization of DOBV combined with reservoir host and geographical distribution data. A) Maximum-likelihood tree based on all available complete DOBV sequences constructed using a transition plus empirical base frequencies plus gamma 4 substitution model. Colors indicate major clusters and hosts from which sequences were obtained. B) Distribution map of 2 major DOBV reservoir hosts, Apodemus flavicollis (blue) and A. agrarius (orange) mice, and their overlapping distribution zones. Solid circles indicate locations of complete sequences used in maximum-likelihood tree . C) Pruned version of the tree in panel A showing the division of the Mediterranean cluster into West and East Mediterranean subclusters. DOBV, Dobrava virus (Orthohantavirus dobravaense).
