Enlargement of the section of MCC tree containing Kosovar lineage I.

<p>The estimated dates of divergence from neighbouring sister lineages and mean dates of existence for the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for lineage containing Kosovar sequences (with 95% HPD in parentheses) are shown at the relevant nodes. The branches are coloured on the basis of the most probable location of the descendent nodes (GR, Greece; IRN, Iran; KOS, Kosovo; MR, Mauritania; SA, South Africa; SEN, Senegal; TR, Turkey). Histogram insertions indicate the location state probabilities for the estimated introductions of CCHFV that gave rise to Kosovo lineage I. Taxon labels include accession number, year of isolation, and country of origin. The human and tick-derived CCFHV strains are also indicated. Tick-derived sequences generated in this study are bolded (clade “Kosovo I”).
