Figure 5.

Maximum likelihood unrooted phylogenetic tree of avian trypanosome SSU rRNA gene sequences. The three groups of avian trypanosomes (A—T. bennetti group; B—T. corvi/culicavium group, and C—T. avium/thomasbancrofti group) along with previously described lineages (I–XII) are labelled after [16]; new lineages in the group B are labelled B13–B16. Original sequences are described in bold. The sequence description contains identifier, trypanosome host, and country of collection. Bootstrap support higher than 50 is shown at the branches.
