Phylogenetic analysis of Anaplasma ovis gltA and msp4 nucleotide sequences identified in Corsica. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees were inferred using gltA and msp4 nucleotide sequences of A. ovis identified in Corsica and other bacteria of the family Anaplasmataceae (see Methods for accession numbers). All gltA and msp4 nucleotide sequences of Corsica formed a unique clade with A. ovis reference sequences, KJ410285 (gltA) and KU497712 (msp4). The clades containing A. ovis sequences were collapsed. Reliability of internal branches was assessed using the bootstrapping method (1000 replicates)
