Abstract excerpt
The genus Dermacentor is represented by 12 species in the New World. We sequenced a 300-bp portion of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA gene for 28 individual ticks representing 9 of these species and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships. Maximum parsimony, distance (neighbor-joining), and maximum likelihood were all used to resolve tree topologies. Eleven specimens of Dermacentor hunteri Bishopp...
