Evolutionary relationships among mismatch-repair class 2 gene (<i>MSH2</i>) and the thiol-disulfide oxido-reductase Tc52 gene (<i>Tc52</i>) from 50 and 51 <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> isolates, respectively.

<p>Three phylogenetic trees were created by neighbor-joining (NJ), minimum evolution (ME), and maximum parsimony (MP) methods from the alignment of each gene target and a consensus tree was interpreted. Numbers at the branches are bootstrap values >50% (500 replicates) for the same nodes of the NJ, ME, MP trees. Evolutionary distances were computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0056198#pone.0056198-Saitou1" target="_blank">[29]</a>. ▴ = the 17 US TcI isolates that were identical; • = the 24 or 27 US TcIIa isolates that were identical. * = reference strains: SilvioX10 cl1, Colombiana, P209 (TcI); X110/8 (TcIII); CANIII cl1, Dog Theis, Ecua6 (TcIV); CL Brener (TcVI).</p

Nucleotide sequence variations within the Tc52 gene sequence of 51 <i>T. cruzi</i> isolates from the United States compared to reference strains.

<p>Genotype of each isolate precedes the isolate name. Nucleotide positions correspond to sites from P209 (Genbank EF065175). Dots represent nucleotide site identical to reference strain (either P209 for TcI or CANIII cl1 for TcIV).
