Molecular identification of ticks, collaborated with morphologic identification, according to phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method with the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. Ornithodoros sonrai was used as the outgroup. Black arrows indicate the sequences analyzed in this study. GenBank accession numbers for other sequences are shown with the sequence name. Branch numbers indicate bootstrap support (1000 replicates). The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per nucleotide.
