Fig. 3From: A broad-range survey of ticks from livestock in Northern Xinjiang: changes in tick distribution and the isolation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto The phylogenic tree inferred from the 16S rDNA sequences of the representative tick specimens. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method. The new sequences provided by the present study are indicated by a black dot (ticks collected in internal counties) or a black triangle (ticks collected from border counties) in front of the sequence name (containing the accession number). The phylogenic analyses were conducted using MEGA5Back to article page
