Molecular Cloning and Characterization of Babesia orientalis Rhoptry Neck 2 BoRON2 Protein

Figure 2

Relationship of BoRON2 with other apicomplexan related RON2 proteins. The neighbor joining tree was constructed using protein sequence of Babesia orientalis RON2 with its homologues found in NCBI, and the respective accessions numbers are indicated. The scale bar shows the length of branch; every 0.1 nucleotides’ difference per 100 is represented. B. orientalis RON2 is in the same clade with B. bovis, B. bigemina, and B. divergens, more close to B. bovis.
