ML tree of complete or nearly complete RusV genome sequences from cats with staggering disease and all publicly available RusV sequences (IQ-TREE2 version 2.2.0; TIM3 + F + I; 100,000 ultrafast bootstraps). Sequences from Sweden, Austria, and Germany are highlighted in blue, green, and orange, respectively. Sequences from a previously identified German RusV cluster from zoo animals with encephalitis and apparently healthy yellow-necked field mice (Apodemus flavicollis) 37, 38, 40 are presented in a dashed box. Bootstrap support values are shown at the nodes.
