Fig. 4.

Multiple alignments of nucleotide sequences of mini-exon gene from 2 isolates, Iranian L. tropica reference strain (AB470338.1) and Sudanese isolate (X69451.1). L. tropica isolates sequences are SILt1: AB494699; AILt1: AB494698. Dashes indicate computer-generated gaps. Asterisks indicate identical nucleotides. Substitutions are shaded in black and the Eae I recognition site (5'-Py▼GGCCPu-3') are highlighted by gray boxes, dark gray boxes show Pyrimidine (C, T and U) and Purine (A and G) nucleotides where Guanine substitution instead of Cytosine in Iranian L. tropica are tinted with black.
