Figure

Bootstrap consensus phylogenetic tree constructed based on partial sequences of 17kDa (A), gltA (B), groEL (C), ompA (D), ompB (E), and sca4 (F) amplified from blood specimens from 5 spotted fever patients in Japan (yellow shading). We aligned sequences using MUSCLE within MEGA6 software (http://www.megasoftware.net). We analyzed phylogenetic relationships using the neighbor-joining method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates; boot values are shown next to the branches. Genbank accession numbers for the Rickettsia strains retrieved are indicated.
