Phylogenetic tree based on 18S gene sequences of lice species collected from domestic animals.

<p>Accession numbers in red color are 18S gene sequence of lice of animals from Ethiopia recently deposited in the GenBank. Minimum evolution method was used to build the phylogentic tree. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes.</p

Summary of BLAST analysis of partial <i>rpoB</i> gene sequences obtained from lice and keds of domestic animals in six districts in Oromia, Ethiopia.

Phylogenetic tree based on partial <i>rpoB</i> gene sequences of <i>Acinetobacter</i> species.

<p>Maximum Likelihood method was used to build the phylogentic tree. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes. <b>Bold</b> indicates the taxonomic position of <i>Acinetobacter</i> species identified in this study.</p

Minimum evolutionary tree using a bootstrap analysis for the putative novel <i>Rickettsia</i> species.

<p>The nearest GenBank sequences (showed at the end of the <i>Rickettsia</i> name) were aligned using the multi-sequence alignment ClustalX and BioEdit programs. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using parsimony and maximum-likelihood methods.</p
