Calomyscid Rodents (Rodentia: Calomyscidae) as a Potential Reservoir of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Mountainous Residential Area in the Plateau of Iran: Inferring from Molecular Data of kDNA and ITS2 Genes of Leishmania Major

Figure 4

Evolutionary relationships of Leishmania species based on the sequences of ITS2 gene showing the L. major infecting Calomyscus cf. bailwardi in the present study (accession number of ON398770), inferred using the neighbor-joining, UPGMA, and maximum likelihood methods. The percentage value of the bootstrap test is shown next to the branches. Nodal supports presented above the line indicate neighbor-joining (left) and UPGMA bootstrap (right) with 100000 replicates using MEGA X The numbers below the line represent bootstrap support values for maximum likelihood (500 replicates).
