Phylogenetic relationships between Rickettsia species identified in the study and accessions from GenBank, based on the sequences of the gltA gene. The phylogram was constructed with MEGA 11 software (https://www.megasoftware.net) using the Maximum Likelihood method and the Kimura 2-parameter method as a distance method. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa are clustered together in the bootstrap test (1,000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of base substitutions per site. The sequences obtained in this study are labelled with color symbols.
