Phylogenetic analysis of Anaplasma The Anaplasma (OP286854 and OP286856) sequences were randomly selected to build a phylogenetic tree, named after regions and displayed on the phylogenetic tree with squares and triangles (Fig. 9d). The phylogenetic tree of the 16S rRNA gene shows that Anaplasma found in Inner Mongolia is on the same branch as Anaplasma ovis strain Ao89 (KJ 639879). The sequences were compared and analyzed using MEGA 7.0 software. They show that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Anaplasma in Inner Mongolia has 99.93% homology with A. ovis strain Ao89 (KJ 639879) found in the Qilian Mountains, Lanzhou.
