  FIG 1. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Enterovirus sequences, based on the PCR-targeted 362-nucleotide sequence of the 5′ untranslated region (UTR). The tree includes the sequences detected during the project (red boxes) and the sequences of known species. The latter were selected to represent all classified species and include sequences with the highest similarities to the novel ones. As the tree is based on the partial 5′ UTR, its structure differs from trees based on the full genome or individual coding sequences. The numbers at the nodes indicate the bootstrap support. Novel sequences with high similarity (nucleotide identities of >97%) to other novel sequences are not included but are represented by a single sequence and “+N.” These are the sequences with GenBank accession numbers MK215173, MK215177, and MK215178 (represented by MK215168); MK215192 (represented by MK215188); MK215161, MK215165, and MK215167 (represented by MK215164); and MK215163 (represented by MK215162). The ICTV classification of species within the genus Enterovirus is indicated where applicable.
