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

Lineages and genotypes of trypanosomes of the subgenus Megatrypanum inferred using ITS1 rDNA sequences. Network inferred using polymorphic ITS1 rDNA sequences of trypanosomes representative of genotypes identified in cervids (WTD, follow deer, sika deer and elk), bovids (cattle, water buffalo and antelopes), sheep keds, and sand flies. The analysis was carried out using the Neighbour-Net method with K2P parameter, and nodal support estimated with 500 bootstrap replicates. Trypanosoma trinaperronei n. sp. comprised two highly similar isolates, TCC2268 from Venezuela and WTD A3 from Texas (USA) assigned to the new genotype TthII H, which is closest to TthII C formed by Trypanosoma sp. D30 of fallow deer and TC2 of red deer from German and Croatia, respectively. Abbreviations: TCC, trypanosomatids culture collection; WTD, white-tailed deer
