Figure 3. Phylogenetic analysis of RF borreliae based on 16 S rDNA of Borrelia spp.
The phylogenetic tree of 16 S rDNA was constructed. The phylogenetic branches were supported in >70% by the bootstrap analysis. The bar indicates the percentage of sequence divergence. Sequences in this study were shown in bold type. If possible, clone or strain name, isolation source, and country were described in the case of B. miyamotoi. Numbers in parentheses indicate Accession Numbers in GenBank.
