Phylogenetic tree of universal minicircle invariant regions (CSB-1, CSB-2, and CSB-3) from 371 minicircles was constructed by using approximate maximum-likelihood method of the FastTree program. 156 Leishmania minicircle sequences and one minicircle sequence of Herpetomonas samuelpessoai as (an outgroup) were collected from the NCBI database and compared with 214 minicircles of L. martiniquensis strain PCM3. Branches of the same species were collapsed. The local-bootstrap support values are shown at the branch point. Numbers < 70 are not presented. The tips are highlighted according to the genera: Mundinia (blue), Leishmania (orange), Sauroleishmania (purple), and Viannia (pink). In Mundinia, the tips without blue dots are the from conserved region I, and the tips with blue dots are the conserved region II. The black dot at the beginning of the tip name represents the collapsed clade members
