Fig. 6From: Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) ticks associated with a Rickettsia sp. in PakistanNJ phylogenetic tree of Rickettsia spp. based on the partial 16S rDNA gene sequence. The sequence of the 16S rDNA gene of Orientia chuto was used as an outgroup. The bootstrapping values (1000) are shown at each node. The position of the Rickettsia sp. detected in the current study (MW308520) is highlighted by a black circle. For abbreviations, see Fig. 3Back to article page
