Fig. 1 Phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum likelihood method based on nucleotide sequences of a 560-bp fragment of the gltA gene (a) and 470-bp fragment of the ompA gene (b) of Rickettsia spp. The stability of the constructed trees was estimated using bootstrap analysis with 1000 replicates. Significant bootstrapping values (>70%) are shown on the nodes. The sequences of R. raoultii and R. sibirica determined in this study are marked by triangles.
