Figure 3.

Phylogenetic trees constructed using the maximum likelihood method based on nucleotide sequences of Rickettsia spp. from ticks, including ones from this study (Barnaul, black diamonds), and reference sequences of the (A) gltA (384 bp) and (B) ompA (532 bp) gene fragments. The R. bellii An04 (NZ_CP015010) and R. monacensis IrR/Munich (NZ_LN794217) sequences were used as an outgroup. The GenBank accession numbers for reference sequences are shown with the sequence name, tick species, and country. The branch numbers indicate bootstrap support (1000 replicates). The scale bar indicates the phylogenetic distance.
