Additional file 8 of Comparative Analysis of Genome of Ehrlichia sp. HF, a Model Bacterium to Study Fatal Human Ehrlichiosis

Additional file 8: Figure S3. Phylogenetic analysis of Ehrlichia VirB2 paralogs of representative Ehrlichia species. Phylogenic tree of VirB2 paralogs of representative Ehrlichia species, including Ehrlichia sp. HF (EHF), E. chaffeensis Arkansas (EchArk), E. muris subsp. muris AS145 (Emuris), and E. muris subsp. eauclairensis Wisconsin (EmCRT). The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method and JTT matrix-based model, and the tree with the highest log likelihood is shown. The tree is drawn to scale with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site (below branches), and the percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown above the branches. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X.
