Red: SNP exclusive from AT lesion-derived L. braziliensis; blue: SNP present only in typical lesion-derived parasites and shared with M2903, but differs from reference genome of M2904; green: SNPs present in AQP1 from field isolates, shared with M2903, but absent in M2904. S: silent mutation. Primers AQP1F and AQP1R were used for amplification of fragment, and SP6 and T7 for sequencing.
