Neighbor-joining (NJ) tree showing the relationships of the study and reference sandflies (n = 227) shown in bold red based on 150 bp of the 18srDNA gene sequences. MEGA X program was used for constructing the phylogenetic trees. DNA sequences were aligned using Clustal-W program. Bootstrap values are based on 1000 replicates [46]. Ph., Phlebotomus; S. Sergentomyia; L., Lutzomyia; Gen_AJ244374.1, GenBank accession number; Ref_sf6B, reference strain_sand fly number 6B; CL, cutaneous leishmaniasis; VL, visceral leishmaniasis; PS, Palestine with Palestinian sand fly code; numbers in parentheses indicate number of samples with identical genetic characters
