GQ166866; AM268419; X96868) and new variant RHDV (GenBank accession no. X133161). European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV) was used to root the tree (GenBank accession no. NC_002615). A nonpathogenic strain from Australia was also included (GenBank accession no. EU871528). The samples isolated from the rabbits found in Portugal appear in bold (Valpaços16_Portugal, Algarve1_Portugal, Algarve3_Portugal, Barrancos7–13_Portugal, Barrancos10A-13_Portugal, GenBank accession nos.: KF442960–KF442964.
