Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the groEL gene ( groEL) of A. phagocytophilum (a). The bootstrap values (SH-aLRT/UFB) above the 80/95 threshold are displayed. Sequences of Anaplasma platys used as an outgroup are not displayed. The designation of the groEL clusters and ecotypes is given based on Jaarsma et al. [7] and Jahfari et al. [8], respectively. The highlighted clusters representing the ecotype I and ecotype II are displayed in detail in (b) where sequences acquired from the GenBank database are marked by their accession number and the host. Sequences obtained from this study are shown in red. SH-aLRT/UFB, SH-like approximate likelihood ratio test
