Phylogenetic classification of OWH TBEV isolates within a European-type network. The unrooted tree was calculated using BEAST with 10,000,000 chains per cycle with every 1000th chain being recorded. The mutation rate of 8.0 × 10−4 substitutions per site was considered according to Weidmann et al. [20, 25]. Posterior probability values are shown at corresponding nodes in percent. The scale-bar represents 40.0 substitutions per nucleotide site. Samples are marked by countries for visual clarity (blue, OWH samples; green, other German isolates; red, Czech Republic; yellow, Switzerland; black, Austria; pink, Slovakia; white, Sweden; grey, Italy). Nomenclature of an individual European isolate includes GenBank accession number, number of base pairs analyzed (1482) and year of isolation at the end. Internal nomenclature of OWH isolates (blue) in chronological order: OW, Odenwald hills; followed by district shortcut; geographical coordinates in terms of grid square; A, number of collected area; N, nymph, W, female, M, male, for I. ricinus; dr, D. reticulatus; 1482, number of base pairs analyzed; year of isolation
