Molecular characterisation of three Ixodes (Pholeoixodes) species (Ixodida, Ixodidae) and the first record of Ixodes (Pholeoixodes) kaiseri from Slovakia


	Phylogenetic tree of Ixodes spp. constructed by using a maximum-likelihood analysis of 16S rRNA gene. Bootstrap 1000 bp. Branch lengths represent the number of substitutions per site inferred according to the scale shown. 16S rRNA gene of D. marginatus (NCBI source) was used as outgroup.
