Figure 4

Phylogenetic tree of putative innexin sequences, drawn by the NJ algorithm of the megaprogram. The numbers on the nodes indicate the percent recovery of these nodes in 500 bootstrap replications. Species included are: Caenorhabditis elegans (Ceel); Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Buxy); Trichinella spiralis (Tres); Echinococcus granulosus (Ecgr); Echinococcus multilocularis (Ecmu); Taenia solium (Taso); Hymenolepis microstoma (Hymi); Schistosoma japonicum (Scja); Schistosoma mansoni (Scma); Pediculus humanus (Pehu); Anopheles gambiae (Anga); Anopheles darlingi (Anda); Aedes aegypti (Aeae). The cluster of arthropoda is indicated in red.
