Fig 4. Alignment of partial-length of Wolbachia wsp gene nucleotide (~610 bp) sequences identified in this study (MW717996, MW718054, MW718057, MW718097, MW718000, MW718001, MW718008, MW718027, MW718034, MW718069, MW718076, MW718098, MW718103) together with 4 mostly identical reference sequences (KJ140127, KJ140131, KJ140130 and KT964225) obtained in GenBank database.

Strains belonging to supergroup A and B are shown in red and blue, respectively, while the reference sequences are indicated with underlines. Numbers, read from top to bottom, above the sequences are nucleotide positions on the wsp gene of MW717996. Dots indicate nucleotides identical to the reference sequences. The triangles above nucleotide position numbers indicate sites of mutations in our isolates (supergroup A: ▽ in red, and supergroup B: ▼ in blue) relative to the one or both of the reference sequences.
