Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated nucleotide sequences from Rickettsia species collected in 2018 from eschar DNA from a patient in Qinghai Tibet Plateau, China (boldface), and reference sequences. A phylogenetic tree was constructed on the basis of the concatenated partial gltA, ompA, ompB, 17 kDa, sca1, and sca4 nucleotide sequences by using the neighbor-joining method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Numbers >70 indicate the bootstrapping value. GenBank accession numbers listed in Appendix Table 3 . Scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions.
