From: Pan-American Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) trinaperronei n. sp. in the white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann and its deer ked Lipoptena mazamae Rondani, 1878: morphological, developmental and phylogeographical characterisation

Barcoding of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) trinaperronei n. sp. Comparison of V7V8 SSU rRNA barcodes from T. trinaperronei n. sp. and trypanosomes of TthI and TthII lineages of the subgenus Megatrypanum from cervids (fallow, red and sika deer, WTD, and elk), and bovids (water buffalo, cattle, bison, and antelopes). Sequences obtained from deer keds, sheep keds, sand flies, tsetse flies and tabanids were also included. Sequences from a distantly related isolate of elk (elk 317) from the USA were placed as a probable new lineage of Megatrypanum. Dendrograms were inferred by Neighbour-Joining using the Kimura 2-parameter algorithm, and nodal supports were estimated with 500 bootstrap replicates. Abbreviations: WTD, white-tailed deer
