Figure 1

Matrix of sequence differences on pairwise comparisons of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene for 19 R. microplus strains, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus. Proportion of nucleotide differences (102) (p-distance) are shown in the lower left matrix. It is obtained by dividing the number of nucleotide differences by the total number of nucleotides compared.
