Phylogenetic tree of the VP1 coding sequences of EMCV Italian strains isolated in 2012. The macaque and porcupine EMCV strains highlighted with red dots, clusterize in a unique lineage (Lineage B) with other Italian and European strains found in GenBank database. The very high bootstrap value (100) registered between them confirms that only one EMCV strain is circulating in Italy, capable of infecting different animal species. The subdivision in lineages has been made in accordance with previous works [4, 5]
