Figure

Consensus distance–based tree generated from the infecting amastigote’s internal transcribed spacer 1 sequence and homologous sequences from other related human Leishmania–infected samples. Posterior bootstrap values are presented as the percentage of trees from 100 pseudorandomly sampled datasets which supported a given node with a value >90%. The sequences for the various terminal nodes, chosen for nearest identity to the derived sequence (EMBL-LT577674) by a BLASTn search are as follows: L

The sequences for the various terminal nodes, chosen for nearest identity to the derived sequence (EMBL-LT577674) by a BLASTn search are as follows: L. aethiopica, GQ920674, GQ920676, GQ920673; L. tropica, FJ948454, FJ948450, FJ948456; L. mexicana, AJ00313, AF466381; L. donovani, FJ753386, AM901452, AM901453, L. infantum/chagasi GU045592, FN398343, GU045591; L. siamensis (a), EF200012, (b), JX195637, GQ28127, JQ617283, JQ001751, GQ293226, (c), JQ866907, GQ226034. Branch lengths are proportional to the intersequence divergence, calculated by using the Fitch-Margoliash method of measuring pairwise distances derived from the F84 model.
