Neighbor-joining phylogram based on map1 nucleotide sequences of Ehrlichia ruminantium strains. Ninety-seven Amblyomma variegatum ticks were obtained from cattle in the suburbs of Juba in southern Sudan, and 106 A. lepidum ticks were obtained from camels in the suburbs of Gedaref in eastern Sudan in 2000. The amplicon used included all 3 variable regions in the map1 sequence (nucleotide positions 472–1377) (7). The nucleotide position refers to GenBank accession no. X74250. The amplicon without primer sequences (855 bp) was subjected to sequencing analysis. Sequence homogeneity was determined and multiple alignment analyses were conducted as previously described (9). A. marginale strain Pawhuska major surface protein 4 (GenBank accession no. AY127078) was used as an outgroup. WA, western Africa; SA, southern Africa; EA; eastern Africa. Kiswani is identical to Ludlow, Kümm1 is identical to Senegal, Kümm2 is identical to Omatjenne, Kwanyanga is identical to Lemco, and Sankat is identical to Mali (6).
