From: Detection of a new insect flavivirus and isolation of Aedes flavivirus in Northern Italy
Phylogenetic tree of the positive sequences based on the 84 nucleotides of the NS5 gene. The tree was displayed by using the program Mega 5.05, Neighbor-Joining method and distance-p model with 1000 bootstrap replicates. The branches for flavivirus sequences published in the current study (AeAlbopictus Italy 2008 and Aedes cinereus/geminus Italy 2008 AZ1) are in bold. GenBank accession numbers for the insect flaviviruses sequences are indicated in the tree MBV: Mosquito-borne virus, TBV: tick-borne virus, UNKV: Unknown vector virus, AEFV: Aedes flavivirus, KRV; Kamiti River virus, CXFV: Culex flavivirus, CFA: Cell fusing agent.
