Análisis filogenético de secuencias de Cistein-Proteasas de Tritrichomonas foetus, ¿salto de la barrera de especies?

Abstract

Objectives. To analyze the cysteine-protease (CP) gene sequences of Tritrichomonas spp. reported in GenBank, and develop a phylogenetic analysis to help clarify the possibility of transmission between species. Materials and Methods. The CP sequences of Tritrichomonas spp. available in GenBank were analyzed and aligned to identify polymorphic sites. The best nucleotide substitution model was determined, and phylogenetic trees were constructed for each gene, using Trichomonas vaginalis
