Phylogenetic tree using a bootstrap analysis for the Rickettsia felis found in mosquitoes from USA. The 446-bp nucleotide sequences of the gltA PCR products were concatenated and aligned using CLUSTALW, and the phylogenetic inferences were obtained from a maximum likelihood analysis. The names of Rickettsia species and their GenBank accession numbers are provided. The numbers at the nodes are the bootstrap values obtained by repeating the analysis 100 times to generate a majority consensus tree. The sequences of R. felis identified in this study (in bold) were 99.7–100% identical to the recognized R. felis strains, and 84.0–95.7% identical to other Rickettsia spp. The bootstrap values < 80 were omitted in the phylogenetic tree.
