Figure 1. Phylogenetic trees of Rickettsiales rrs gene sequences.
Phylogenetic trees for bacteria of the genera Anaplasma (A), Ehrlichia and Candidatus Neoehrlichia (B), and Rickettsia (C). Numbers at each node indicate bootstrap values. Trees (A–C) were mid-point rooted for clarity and the scale bar represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per site. Lineages shown in purple in panel A and taxa marked by circles in panels A–C depict sequences obtained in this study.
