Table S1 - Functional and Immunological Relevance of Anaplasma marginale Major Surface Protein 1a Sequence and Structural Analysis

Classification of A. marginale strains based on the proposed nomenclature. A total of 289 MSP1a sequences were analyzed. A. marginale 224 unique strains were classified using the nomenclature proposed in our study: Country/Locality/microsatellite genotype - (structure of tandem repeat). The 5′UTR microsatellite genotype was included when available. The structure of tandem repeats was represented following the nomenclature previously proposed [14] (Fig. 1). When the same repeat was present more than one time, a super-index was used to represent copy number for this repeat. (PDF)
