Phylogenetic relationship from partial DNA polymerase gene nucleotide sequences of herpesviruses from free-living passerine birds captured in Slovenia during autumn migration in 2014 and 2017 and herpesviruses derived from the GenBank database. The tree was generated by the maximum likelihood with the Tamura 3-parameter model and 1,000 bootstrap replicates to assign confidence levels to branches. The scale bar indicates substitutions per site. GenBank accession numbers for sequences are given before herpesvirus names and the host. Nucleotide sequences obtained in this study are marked in bold, and nucleotide sequences of herpesviruses detected from wild owls in Slovenia are underlined.
