^aPercent identical nucleotides are given for the sequences corresponding to nucleotides 1 to 453 in the partial β-tubulin gene sequence of A. fumigatus (3). For each pair of sequences, the shorter sequence was used in calculating percent identical nucleotides.

^bThe source of the β-tubulin gene sequences is given in Table 3.
