Fig 3.

Phylogram of Anaplasma inferred with long (∼1,432 bp) sequences of the 16S rRNA gene using the neighbor-joining method. The optimal tree with a branch length sum of 0.16815385 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1,000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum-composite-likelihood method. Sequences newly identified in the present study are indicated in boldface.
