Phylogenetic tree of ticks investigated. Phylogenetic tree based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequences of ticks collected in this study along with reference tick COI sequences sourced from Genbank. The phylogenetic tree is based on a MUSCLE alignment of the sequences in which gap positions were trimmed and was constructed using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the model of Tamura and Nei, within the program MEGA v6 [41]. The tree with the highest log likelihood is shown. Bootstrap replications (1000) were performed, which are expressed on each node as a percentage. The scale bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per site. Accession numbers for references sequences are indicated. Sequences derived from this study were deposited in GenBank (Accession numbers - to be provided). Species (or clades) identified in this study are indicated on the right.
