Phylogenetic tree based on citrate synthase (gltA) gene of Bartonella spp. using the MEGA 5.02 software. The tree was obtained using the neighbor-joining method. Numbers at the nodes are proportions of 1000 bootstrap resampling that support the topology. Brucella melitensis strain Br.m-1268/11-Geo MjBr9.1 was used as the outgroup to root the tree. TUN (Tunisia) sequences detected in this work have been deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers KP126460 – KP126480. ●: Ctenocephalides felis; ■: Ctenocephalides canis; ▲: Pulex irritans
