Table 1.
Overview of O. tsutsugamushi strains.
Fig 1.
Ring diagrams for all single-contig strains.
From outermost feature in each genome, moving inwards: repetitive regions are shown in purple, core genes in green, repeat genes in red and pseudogenes in blue. The track shows the GC percentage in windows of 1000bp. Values above the median GC are in green, and values below the median GC are in red.
Table 2.
Predicted gene numbers in different strains of O. tsutsugamushi.
Fig 2.
The number of core gene groups and the total number of gene groups (including the core gene groups) as more strains are added to the analysis.
Boxplots represent all possible combinations of the number of strains given on the x-axis.
Fig 3.
Each arrow represents the location of a core gene island containing one or more core genes which are conserved in the same order within an island across all strains.
The arrows are coloured relative to their order in the Karp genome.

Phylogenetic trees generated from the 56kDa antigen sequence (left) and the sequence of the 657 core genes (right). The tree was inferred using the maximum likelihood method implemented in RaxML, and bootstrap values were calculated with the RaxML rapid bootstrap method.
