Fig. 4From: Molecular investigation and phylogeny of Anaplasmataceae species infecting domestic animals and ticks in Corsica, FrancePhylogenetic tree showing the position of E. canis amplified from R. bursa compared to other Anaplasmataceae species. Evolutionary analyses were conducted using MEGA7 [32]. The concatenated 23S rRNA and the groEl genes of the Ehrlichia canis amplified in this study together with other sequences of Anaplasmataceae species available on GenBank. The evolutionary history was. A discrete Gamma distribution was used to model evolutionary rate differences among sites [4 categories (+G, parameter = 0.6567)]. The analysis involved 15 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There was a total of 1039 positions in the final dataset. The scale-bar represents a 5% nucleotide sequence divergenceBack to article page
