Phylogenetic tree inferred from the comparison of Rickettsia africae strains from specimens tested and selected GenBank Rickettsia africae sequences. Posterior probabilities are expressed in percentages and indicated at branch nodes. The sequences generated in this study are highlighted in bold. A: Phylogenetic tree based on the gltA citrate synthase-encoding gene. B: Phylogenetic tree based on the ompA outer membrane protein A gene. Abbreviation: Rh = Rhipicephalus; Hy = Hyalomma; D = Dermacentor.
