Progesterone Induces Scolex Evagination of the Human Parasite Taenia solium: Evolutionary Implications to the Host-Parasite Relationship

Figure 5

Neighbor Join Tree (NJT) for phylogenetic relation analysis. PRs from several species of fish, amphibian, reptilian, bird, and mammals were analyzed through a NJT for searching probable relationship to the T. solium PR identified and sequenced. TsPR showed close relation to PRs from fish and amphibian, but distant to their counterparts in mammals. Numbers on the NJT means bootstrap support ranging among analyzed species.
