From: Genetic characterization of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu lato) ticks from dogs in Portugal
Phylogeny of Rhipicephalus spp. inferred from 16S rRNA sequences. Maximum-parsimony tree based on 16S rRNA sequences generated herein as well as either single haplotype or consensus sequences of R. pusillus, R. bursa, R. sanguineus (s.l.) “temperate lineage” (= Rhipicephalus sp. II; Rhipicephalus sp. morphotype 2), R. turanicus, R. sanguineus (s.l.) “tropical lineage”, and R. guilhoni. Geographical origins are reported in parentheses and GenBank accession numbers are underlined. Only bootstrap values ≥ 50% are indicated. Abbreviations: A, Alijó; AZ, Azores; BE, Beja; B, Bragança; FA, Faro; G, Gondomar; GO, Gouveia; GU, Guarda; LO, Lourinhã; M, Madeira; P, Porto; S, Sabugal
