Phylogenetic relationships of representative rabies virus (RABV) isolates collected in Poland between 2021 and 2023 to complete RABV reference genomes available in GenBank. The phylogenetic tree was generated using the neighbour-joining method (Kimura2 parameter). Bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) over 70% indicating significant support for the tree topology are shown next to the branches. NEE – North-Eastern European variants; CE – Central European variants
