Phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene, including sequences obtained in this study (indicated with bold characters) and representative sequences of other Ixodes spp. from the GenBank, as well as Rhipicephalus sanguineus as outgroup. Pholeoixodes spp. are marked with red color and dashed vertical lines connected to encircled #1; Eschatocephalus spp. are marked with purple color and dashed vertical line connected to encircled #2. Between the species name and the accession number, the country of origin is shown. Branch lengths represent the number of substitutions per site inferred according to the scale shown
