Figure 3

Neighbor-joining phylogenetic analyses based on nucleotide sequences of the complete small (A) and large (B) segments of mammarenavirus strains identified in study of detection and genomic characterization of novel mammarenavirus in European hedgehogs, Italy, and prototype species currently classified within the genus Mammarenavirus. The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. A total of 1,000 bootstrap replicates was used to estimate the robustness of the individual nodes on the phylogenetic tree. Black circles indicate the four Erinaceus europaeus hedgehog arenavirus strains (EEAV/676/22/IT, EEAV/1277/19/IT, EEAV/403/22/IT, and EEAV/1175/19/IT) detected in this study. In both trees, the Haartman Institute snake virus 1, representative of the genus Hartmanivirus, is used as an outgroup. GenBank accession numbers are provided.
