Fig. 3From: Molecular detection of Leishmania donovani, Leishmania major, and Trypanosoma species in Sergentomyia squamipleuris sand flies from a visceral leishmaniasis focus in Merti sub-County, eastern KenyaMaximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Leishmania ITS1 gene sequences. The phylogeny was created from 345-bp and 320-bp fragments, for L. major and L. donovani, respectively, using Phytomonas sp. (AY180158) as an outgroup for rooting. The L. major and L. donovani sequences identified in this study are highlighted in bold. Bootstrap percentages at the major nodes are of agreement among 1000 replicates. The branch-length scale bar represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per siteBack to article page
