Fig. 2 in Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi in ixodid ticks in the Far East of Russia

Fig. 2. Phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of Borrelia 16S rRNA gene fragment of 733 bp long (A) and 5S‾23S ITS of 211–218 bp long (B) using Mega 6.06 software, UPGMA algorithm and 1,000 replications. Phylogenetic trees constructed by means of 5 alternative algorithms (Maximum likelihood, NeighborJoining, Minimum-Evolution, UPGMA and Maximum Parsimony) show similar topologies and reasonable bootstrap support. Nucleotide sequences of Borrelia isolates determined in our study are shown in bold. The number of identical sequences of Borrelia isolates determined in these ixodid ticks is shown in parentheses. Branches corresponding to the reference strains are underlined.
