Molecular phylogenetic analysis of 1097 bp fragment of 16S rRNA of the Borrelia sp. amplified in B. concolor ticks from echidnas. Phylogenetic distances were inferred using FastTree 2 [57], and specimens were compared with the B. burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex, the TBRF group, and the REP-associated spirochaetes. “*” represents Borrelia sequences from B. concolor ticks; “**” indicates Borrelia sequence from Ixodes holocyclus tick; and “***” represents positive controls from I. ricinus nymphs
