Abstract excerpt
All heretofore known genomic structures of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus are analyzed. The authors prove the adequacy of using short fragment of E protein gene for characterization of philogenetic relationships between TBE strains. Three main genotypes of the virus are distinguished, one corresponding to Far Eastern variant, one to West, and the third includes strains belonging to Ural Siberian and Central...
