Fig. 1 Phylogenetic relationships of 10 Anaplasma phagocytophilum sequences identified in this study (available in GenBank under acc. nos. EU779816 to EU779821, and EU781995) with the selected sequences from Europe and the United States based on the nucleotide sequences of the 444-bp fragment of the ankA gene. The sequence of sample 143–10FD was identical to the sequence of sample 143–7FD (EU779816). Two sequences of samples 159–3/RD and RD211–3 matched the sequence of sample 143–2/FD (EU779817). The neighbour-joining algorithm method was used to construct the phylogenetic tree (Vector NTI Advance 10.3.0.).
