Pathogenic Leptospira Species in Insectivorous Bats, China, 2015
Figure 1

Figure 1. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on rrs2 gene of Leptospira isolates from bats, Mengyin County, Shandong Province, China, and reference Leptospira sequences from GenBank (boldface). We constructed the tree with the rrs2 sequences (642 bp) from this study by using the Kimura 2-parameter model with MEGA 7.0 (http://www.megasoftware.net); we calculated bootstrap values with 1,000 replicates. Sequences of Leptospira detected in bats in this study are shown with the GenBank accession number, the Latin name of the bat species in which Leptospira was detected, and the corresponding bat number. Only bootstrap values >75% are shown. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
