Conserved nucleotide positions are indicated with asterisks.

Nucleotides: T, thymine; C, cytosine; G, guanine; A, adenine.

Jm1–Jm8, Sj1–Sj4, Am1–Am3, and Al1–Al2 Anaplasma sp.–positive goat samples were collected from Joumine (Bizerte governorate), Sejnane (Bizerte governorate), Amdoun (Beja governorate), and El Alia (Bizerte governorate) localities, respectively.

Al1–Al4 and Kh1–Kh6 Anaplasma sp.–positive sheep samples were collected from El Alia (Bizerte governorate), and Khetmine (Bizerte governorate), localities, respectively.

^{^a}

The Aplike1GGo1 genotype was isolated from Jm1, Jm2, Jm4–Jm7, Sj1, Sj3, Sj4, Am1–Am3, al1 goat samples; the Aplike1GGo2 genotype was isolated from Jm3 and Jm8 goat samples; the Aplike1GGo3 genotype was isolated from Al2 goat sample; the Aplike1GOv1 genotype was isolated from Al1-4, Kh1, and Kh4–6 sheep samples; the AplikeGOv2 genotype was isolated from Kh2 sheep sample; the AplikeGOv3 genotype was isolated from Kh3 sheep sample, and the Aplike2GGo1 genotype was isolated from Sj2 goat sample.

^{^b}

GenBank accession number.

^{^c}

Numbers represent the nucleotide position with respect to the HZ strain from USA for A. phagocytophilum (GenBank acc. no. NC_007797).
