Neighbor-joining phylogenetic trees constructed with 16S rRNA, flaB, p66, and glpQ gene sequences of Borrelia spp. isolates collected from Père David deer (Elaphurus davidianus) and Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks, Dafeng Elk National Natural Reserve, China, and reference isolates. The isolates identified in this study (bold; GenBank accession nos. MF521973, MF541143, MG763228, MG763229) are most similar to B. miyamotoi of the relapsing fever group. Numbers at branch nodes show bootstrap support
