Pathogenic Leptospira Species in Insectivorous Bats, China, 2015
Figure 2

Figure 2. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on rrs2 gene of pathogenic Leptospira isolates from bats, Mengyin County, Shandong Province, China, and reference Leptospira sequences from GenBank that had been previously isolated from bats (boldface). We constructed the tree with bat Leptospira rrs2 sequences (446 bp) from this study and previous studies by using Kimura 2-parameter model with MEGA 7.0 (http://www.megasoftware.net); we calculated bootstrap values with 1,000 replicates. Leptospira detected in this study are shown with compressed clades, and bat Leptospira sequences from previous studies are shown with the GenBank accession number and the Latin name of the bat species in which Leptospira was detected. Only bootstrap values >75% are shown. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
