Main Article

Figure

Concatenated phylogenetic analysis of rickettsia gene fragments detected in Amblyomma parkeri ticks in Brazil. Gene fragments gltA (1,013 bp), htrA (370 bp), ompA (494 bp), and ompB (822 bp) were inferred by maximum-likelihood analysis with the evolution model T92 + G (Tamura model). Values on the branches indicate bootstrap values (cutoff value 70%). Stars indicate sequences obtained in this study. GenBank accession numbers are given in parentheses. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions
