Phylogenetic tree of fish trypanosomes with the positioning of Trypanosoma abeli n. sp.: Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree inferred from gGAPDH sequences of Trypanosoma abeli (cultures) and other trypanosomes from Brazilian loricariids and leeches, including sequences from European, African and Asian fish trypanosomes, as well as turtle and platypus trypanosomes placed within the Aquatic clade. Sequences from other trypanosomes and non-trypanosome trypanosomatids were used as outgroups in the phylogenetic tree (− Ln = − 7078.905197). Numbers on branches represent bootstrap support (>50) estimated with 500 pseudoreplicates in RAxML, using GTRGAMMA. GenBank accession numbers of gGAPDH sequences determined in this study are listed in Table 1. Codes in parenthesis are GenBank accession numbers available for previously described species
