The molecular-genetic analysis of 13 strains of Western genotype TBEV isolated in Western and Eastern Siberia demonstrated two groups of strains differed geneticallyfrom each other and had a high level of E gene sequences homology within each group. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of biological propertiesfor some strains within a group was observed.
