Fig. 1 in Polymerase chain reaction and gyrA nucleotide sequence analysis of Wolbachia endosymbionts (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) in various species of Culicidae, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) and Dirofilaria immitis (Rhabditida: Onchocercidae)

Fig. 1. Phylogenetic tree based on Maximum Likelihood depicting the grouping of Wolbachia from various hosts based on analysis of the gyrA gene. The numerical value displayed on branches is the bootstrap value (1,000 replicates), and branches with values below 50% are collapsed. The tree illustrates that gyrA sequences distinguish Wolbachia subtypes based on host taxonomy, demonstrating that this gene may contribute to Wolbachia strain typing projects and future phylogenetic analysis.
