Table 1. Description of expressed msp2(p44) pseudogenes detected in all three woodrats and the DU-1 inoculum.
The similarity of each pseudogene is compared with known pseudogenes within the A. phagocytophilum HZ strain. Similarity type (low, medium or high) is based on percentage identity to the HZ strain.
