Geographical distribution of the trapped small rodents in the Shangdang Basin, China.
The map was prepared in ArcGIS 10.2.2 using political boundaries from the National Geomatics Center of China (http://www.ngcc.cn/ngcc) for illustrative purposes only, these data are available free of charge.

Phylogenetic tree constructed based on partial gltA gene (326 bp) of 42 Bartonella sequences.
The tree was constructed by using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method with the Kimura 2-parameter model, bootstrap values calculated with 1000 replicates. The sequences detected in this study are indicated with black dots (NC represents Niviventer confucianus, AA represents Apodemus agrarius and TT represents Tscherskia triton). Brucella abortus was used as outgroup.

Median-joining networks of gltA gene for B. grahamii sequences from Shangdang Basin and other B. grahamii isolates from different rodents and regions.
The sequences were analyzed based on a median-joining network using the Population Analysis with Reticulate Trees (PopART) software version 1.7 (http://popart.otago.ac.nz/index.shtml) with the default setting (epsilon = 0).
