From: New insights into the evolution of the Trypanosoma cruzi clade provided by a new trypanosome species tightly linked to Neotropical Pteronotus bats and related to an Australian lineage of trypanosomes

The SL RNA primary and secondary structures of T. wauwau and its closest trypanosomes. a, Aligned sequences of the SL RNA transcripts from T. wauwau (Pt1 and Pt2 genotypes), and other T. cruzi clade trypanosomes. b, Network of SL RNA transcript sequences and almost identical secondary structures shared by Neotropical T. wauwau and Australian T. sp H25 (differences are indicated by arrows in the T. wauwau SL structure), and highly similar to that of T. livingstonei from African bats. Numbers in nodes correspond to bootstrap values estimated by 500 replicates using the same parameters optimized for network inferences
