Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree of ITS1 gene sequences among species.

Figure 2

Leishmania ITS1 gene was amplified within Leishmania DNA positive S. ingrami pools (IING/GH/2007/HLE-9, IING/GH/2007/KLE-2, IING/GH/2007/HLE-22 and IING/GH/2007/TAV-51) and S. hamoni pool (IHAM/GH/2007/KLE-18) and sequenced. Analysis was performed by the neighbor-joining method on the sequences together with those from 10 Leishmania species including the 2 human isolates from Ghana, L. major (MHOM/GH/2004/HO-004) and an uncharacterized Leishmania sp. (MHOM/GH/2006/TAVE). The scale bar represents 0.05% divergence. Bootstrap values are reported at nodes.
