Isolation of a Trypanosome Related to Trypanosoma theileri (Kinetoplastea: Trypanosomatidae) from Phlebotomus perfiliewi (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Figure 3

An SSU rRNA-based Bayesian phylogenetic tree demonstrating the position of newly obtained trypanosome (strain TrPhp1) of the Trypanosoma theileri group isolated from a sand fly female captured in Italy. For the other sequences in the tree the GB number is reported along with the Trypanosoma species and source of isolations, if available. Only posterior probabilities over 0.8 are shown at the node. Scale bar in units of substitutions per site. TthI clade in blue, TthII clade in red, font of sequence of isolated trypanosome with red background.
