ML and BI consensus tree inferred for a subset of Anaplasma spp., using 40 sequences of the gltA gene and an alignment of 1152 bp. Best-fit evolutionary models calculated for the ML and BI methods were GTR + F + I + G4 (position-1), GTR + F + G4 (position-2), HKY + F + I + G4 (position-3); and M₆₄, M₁₇₅, M₁₇₃, M₂₅, M₁₇₁, M₅₀, M₁₂₅ (position-1); M₈₀, M₁₃₅, M₁₆₄, M₁₆₆, M₁₄₅ (position-2); M₉₀, M₁₇₇, M₁₅₂, M₁₈₃, M₁₃₆ (position-3), respectively. Bootstrap values and BPP are indicated above or below each branch. The position of the strain of A. phagocytophilum characterized in the present study is highlighted in a gray box
