Fig. 3From: Diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis: clinical cases experienced in Ecuador and a brief reviewPhylogenetic tree of cyt b gene sequences among species. Cyt b genes of the Leishmania parasites were amplified and sequenced from patients with diffuse-CL (DCL) and disseminated-CL (DSL). A phylogenetic analysis of cyt b gene sequences was performed by the neighbor-joining method together with sequences from 12 Leishmania species. The scale bar represents 0.01 % divergence. Bootstrap values are shown above or below branches Back to article page
