Phylogenetic network with concatenated 16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, GroEL, rpoB and dnaK sequences (3009 unambiguously aligned bp), including 71 Coxiella-like strains of ticks, 15 C. burnetii reference strains, and bacterial outgroups.

A zoom on the A clade which contains C. burnetii isolates is shown in Supplementary Fig C in S1 Text. Each number corresponds to one tick species as detailed in Table 1. Blue—Coxiella-like organisms; red—C. burnetii; green—Rickettsiella; black- other bacteria. All multi-locus typing of Coxiella and Rickettsiella of ticks are new sequences from this study. The scale bar is in units of substitution/site.
