Phylogenetic relationships among 25 taxa of bacterial endosymbionts in the family Anaplasmataceae resulting from Bayesian analysis.

<p>Phylogenetic relationships among 25 taxa of bacterial endosymbionts in the family Anaplasmataceae resulting from Bayesian analysis (1,500,000 generations) of partial sequences of 16S rDNA gene. Posterior probabilities greater than 80% are shown above internodes. Roman numerals (I, II, II) represent the different clades within the “<i>Neorickettsia</i> clade” and letters (A, B, C) correspond to the subclades within clade III. An asterisk (*) at the end of a taxon name indicates a new genotype of <i>Neorickettsia</i> discovered in this study. GenBank numbers are given here for all taxa.
