Figure

Bootstrapped neighbor-joining tree of several species belonging to Rickettsiales and identification of the strains isolated during the study as Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Strains associated to Sardinian groEL variants are closely related to European and American pathogenic human granulocytic anaplasmosis strains. Numbers indicate statistically supported bootstrap values.
