Fig. 3From: Distribution and molecular characteristics of rickettsiae found in ticks across Central MongoliaPhylogenetic analysis was conducted based on 322-bp outer membrane protein A (ompA) gene sequence data with the neighbour-joining method under a Kimura 2-parameter model using MEGA software, version 5.0. Bootstrap analysis of 10,000 replicates was oriented by using E. coli as the outgroup. Numbers on the branches indicate percentage of replicates that reproduced the topology for each clade. Scale-bar indicates estimated evolutionary distances. The GenBank accession number is listed at the end of each strain. The sequences in bold are the ones identified in this studyBack to article page
