Figures & data

Figure 1 Map indicating the locations where USUV-positive birds were found in Hungary and in Austria between 2010 and 2016. Years are indicated with color codes (2010: green, 2011: cyan, 2012: blue, 2013: red, 2015: orange, 2016: yellow). Host species are indicated with symbols (circle: blackbird, triangle: Eurasian jay, diamond: starling, square: fieldfare).

Figure 2 Phylogram demonstrating the genetic relationships among Usutu viruses based on coding-complete nucleotide sequences. Sequences are labeled by codes containing the GenBank accession number, country of origin, and year of sample collection. The sequences from Austria and Hungary described in this paper are highlighted in red font. Vertical bars on the right indicate USUV genetic lineages (as suggested by Cadar et al.Citation17 and Calzolari et al.Citation21). The phylogram was generated with neighbor-joining statistical method; bootstrap percentage values of 1000 replicates above 60% are displayed. Horizontal bar on the left represents the genetic distance.

Figure 3 Phylogram demonstrating the genetic relationships among Usutu viruses based on partial NS5 protein coding nucleotide sequences. Sequences are labeled by codes containing the GenBank accession number, country of origin and year of sample collection. The sequences from Austria and Hungary described in this paper are highlighted in red font. Colored symbols indicate host species and year of collection (corresponding with Figure 1). Vertical bars on the right indicate USUV genetic lineages (as suggested by Cadar et al.Citation17 and Calzolari et al.Citation21). The phylogram was generated with Bayesian statistical method; posterior support values above 60% are displayed. Horizontal bar on the left represents the genetic distance.
