Identification of Zoonotic Genotypes of Giardia duodenalis (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Phylogenetic analysis of assemblage B.
Phylogenetic trees of 65 isolates of assemblage B with 3 markers were constructed using Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean, corrected by complete linkage, which uses the lowest similarities found between two clusters. Individual and merged BG, GDH and TPI nucleotide sequences were used. Bootstrap values were calculated by the analysis of 1000 replicates. Only bootstrap values >60 are shown. The phylogenetic analysis of the merged sequences shows significant mixtures of the BIII and BIV sub-assemblages. The genetic diversity of the multi-locus genotypes (isolates/subtypes: 2,1) is relatively high (see Table 13), and the maximum genetic distance is 1,7%.
