Figure 1. Anaplasma phylogenies for the Candidatus Anaplasma sparouinense species characterized from French Guiana and reference sequences. Trees were constructed by using maximum-likelihood estimations based on best-fit approximation for the evolutionary model Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano plus invariant sites for 16S rDNA with 485 unambiguously aligned bp (A) and ITS2 sequences with 387 unambiguously aligned bp (B). Bold indicates Anaplasma species and strains specific to the Neotropics. GenBank accession numbers of sequences used in analyses are shown on the phylogenetic trees. Numbers at nodes indicate percentage support of 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The scale bar is in units of substitution per site.
