From: New species of Ehrlichia isolated from Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus shows an ortholog of the E. canis major immunogenic glycoprotein gp36 with a new sequence of tandem repeats

Figure 4

Phylogenetic tree based on the citrate synthase (gltA) gene sequences from members of the family Anaplasmataceae. The tree shows that E. mineirensis (UFMG-EV) falls in a clade separated from all the previously reported sequences. Bootstrap values are show as % in the internal branch. Only are showed bootstrap values equal or higher than 50%. N. risticii gltA sequence was used to root the tree. The GenBank accession numbers of the gltA sequences used to build the tree are as follow: E. canis, AF304143; E. muris, AF304144; E. chaffeensis, AF304142; E. ruminantium, AF304146; E. ewingii, DQ365879; A. marginale, AF304140; A. phagocytophilum, AF304138; A. platys, AY077620.
