A-E Epitope identification. The modeled 3D structures for E. mineirensis (UFMG-EV) (A), E. canis (B; GenBank: EF560599), and E. chaffeensis (C and D; GenBank: DQ085430, DQ146157, respectively) depict the position of the predicted epitope (→). Protein structures are colored from blue (N-terminus) to red (C-terminus) according to the residue position. An epitope Cα superimposition (E) of E. mineirensis (UFMG-EV) (cyan), E. canis (brown), E. chaffeensis (GenBank: DQ085430; green) and E. chaffeensis (GenBank: DQ146157; yellow) depicting the differences in their overall structures, E. mineirensis (UFMG) having a 5-6 Å difference compared with the other epitopes).
