Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree based on an alignment of 380 bp-length of the gltA sequences obtained from phlebotomine sand flies collected in Brazil (bold) and reference sequences. Tree was created using the maximum-likelihood method and generalized time reversible plus invariate sites plus gamma as the evolutionary model. Ochrobactrum sp., Brucella ovis, and Brucella abortus were used as outgroups. Only bootstrap values >70 are shown. GenBank accession numbers are provided in parentheses.
