Fig 2. Phylogentic analysis of Paracoccidioides lobogeorgii without P. ceti DNA sequences.

Fig 2

Unrooted phylogenetic trees of Paracoccidioides species and P. lobogeorgii (Lacazia loboi) without the inclusion of P. ceti. The figure shows the DNA sequences of Paracoccidioides species using ADP-Ribosylation-factor, Chitin synthase 4 (CHS4), Gp43, Internal Transcriber Spacers (ITS) partial DNA sequences in Maximum Likelihood, and several DNA sequences from dimorphic Onygenales [26]. The figure illustrates the problem faced by earlier investigators conducting phylogenetic analysis without the addition of P. ceti DNA sequences from dolphins with paracoccidioidomycosis ceti. In the phylogenetic trees, the etiologic agent of Jorge Lôbo’s disease and cultivable Paracoccidioides species are each grouped as independent monophyletic clusters.
