Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences (A) and gltA gene sequences (B) of the isolated rickettsial strain (Inha1). The phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method with MEGA software. Bootstrap analysis was performed with 100 replicates. The GenBank accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences included are as follows: Rickettsia japonica, L36213; R. rickettsii, L36217; Rickettsia sp. RpA4, AF120026; R. aeschlimannii, U74757; R. africae, L36098; R. conorii, AE008647; R. honei, AF060705; R. montana, U11016; R. parkeri, U12461; R. sibirica, D38628; R. slovaca, L36224; R. helvetica, L36212; R. australis, U12459; R. akari, L36099; R. typhi, U12463; and R. prowazekii, M21789. The GenBank accession numbers for the gltA gene sequences of these bacteria are U59724, U59729, AF120029, U59722, U59733, U59730, U59726, U74756, U59732, U59734, U59725, U59723, U59718, U59717, U59714, and M17149, respectively.
