Phylogenetic tree based on partial (779-bp) msp4 nt sequences of Anaplasma spp., obtained by using the neighbor-joining method with Kimura 2-parameter analysis and bootstrap analysis of 1,000 replicates. Numbers on branches indicate percent of replicates that reproduced the topology for each clade. Parentheses enclose GenBank numbers of the sequences used in the phylogenetic analysis.
