Dendrogram representing Orientia tsutsugamushi sequences (black triangles) from patients with acute encephalitis syndrome, Assam, India, 2013–2015. The phylogenetic tree was constructed on a 56-kDa outer membrane protein gene of O. tsutsugamushi. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum-likelihood method based on the Tamura 3-parameter model. Our sequences are found within the brackets. Bold indicates the KARP genotype.
