Figures & Tables

Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree of sequences obtained in the study (19). The tree was constructed using a 601-nucleotide-long fragment of the gene encoding the spike protein of BCoV. Sequences acquired in this study are marked by black squares. The country and the date of isolation (when available) are included in the brackets next to each sequence res – respiratory isolate; ent – enteric isolate
