Phylogenetic tree of isolates from study of Rickettsia species in China (black dots) and comparison isolates. The tree was generated using the concatenated sequences of rrs, gltA, ompB, and ompA of Rickettsia species by the maximum-likelihood method in MEGA6 software (http://www.megasoftware.net) with 1,000 replicates for bootstrap testing. Numbers (>70) above or below branches are posterior node probabilities. Dots indicate rickettsial sequences obtained in this study. Rickettsia clones J69,

Figure. Phylogenetic tree of isolates from study of Rickettsia species in China (black dots) and comparison isolates. The tree was generated using the concatenated sequences of rrs, gltA, ompB, and ompA of Rickettsia species by the maximum-likelihood method in MEGA6 software (http://www.megasoftware.net) with 1,000 replicates for bootstrap testing. Numbers (>70) above or below branches are posterior node probabilities. Dots indicate rickettsial sequences obtained in this study. Rickettsia clones J69, J70, and J73 represent 13 similar clones in the phylogenetic analysis. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. The Rickettsia species name and complete genome GenBank accession no. appear on each line. For the Rickettsia species without complete genome sequences, the GenBank accession nos. in the order of rrs, gltA, ompB and ompA are NR_074469, KT899087, and AY280712, AF179362 for R. heilongjiangensis; KY474575, KX963389, KU310593, and KX506738 for R. raoultii; MG906672, MG906678, and MG906676,0020 for Candidatus Rickettsia longicornii; and AF394906, AF394901 and DQ110870 for R. asiatica. ppendix.
