Key: ^aNumbers denotes the nucleotide position on the sequence. Conserved nucleotide positions relative to the first sequence are indicated using asterisks while the specific nucleotide is indicated where a substitution occurred. MSNP- Multiple single sequence polymorphism, SNP-Single nucleotide polymorphism. Nucleotides: T-thymine, C-cytosine, G-guanine, A-adenine. ^bGenbank Accession numbers
