Anaplasma phagocytophilum HZ complete genome [NC_007797] was used as reference strain: Nucleotide positions indicate the relative position to the genes:

^a 1,433 bp of rrsA 16S ribosomal RNA [Gene ID: 3930754],

^b 1,653 bp of groEL chaperonin GroEL [Gene ID: 3930333],

^c 1,098 bp of APH_1361 major surface protein 2 [Gene ID: 3930122] and

^d 849 bp of msp4 major surface protein 4 [Gene ID: 3930710]

^e Not official nomenclature: It has been used in the same manner in another publication (7), the letters here correspond to the ones from that publication. 16S rRNA gene types are shown in upper case letters; groEL gene types in lower case letters; msp4 gene types in lower case letters in italics; msp2 gene types in Roman numbers.

^f GenBank: [FJ812403]

^g GenBank: [FJ812406]

^h non-synonymous substitutions are highlighted in bold.
