Figure 3

Phylogenetic positioning of the crocodilian trypanosomes from South America and Africa. Phylogenetic tree inferred by maximum likelihood (ML) of concatenated gGAPDH and V7V8 SSU rRNA sequences from 17 trypanosome isolates from crocodilians evidencing the Crocodilian clade and its three subclades T. terena, T. ralphi and T. grayi. The analyses include species representative of all major clades within the genus Trypanosoma, and trypanosomatids of other genera as outgroups (1.778 characters, – Ln = -17937.481223). Numbers at nodes are bootstrap support (P/ML) >50% or Bayesian posterior probability > 0.25, derived from 500 replicates. Codes within parenthesis are GenBank accession numbers.
