Main Article

Figure 3

Phylogenetic tree (A) and geographic distribution (B) of 36 tick species from the genus Haemaphysalis. Bold indicates tick sequences analyzed in this study; Tick-Nagasaki indicates tick collected from a human patient in Japan who had severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus. Colors indicate locations where ticks have been found. We used 49 16S rRNA sequences to construct the maximum-likelihood tree based on 1,000 replicates in MEGA 11.0.13 (https://www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values are indicated next to the branches. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
