UPGMA clustering analysis of microsatellite alleles obtained in the progenies of homologous and heterologous crosses of R. microplus tick strains from different geographic locations. For homologous and heterologous crosses, femalestrain 1 × malestrain 2 (Stran1 × Strain2) and femalestrain 2 × malestrain 1 (Strain1 × Strain2 1) crosses were used. The similarity matrixes were obtained using (A) Jaccard's and (B) Dice's coefficients and the similarity values are shown in the X-axis. Both dendograms show the same topology.
