Phylogenetic analysis of the apyrase family of sand fly salivary proteins.

<p>Phylogenetic analysis of apyrases from <i>Phlebotomus arabicus</i> (Pab), <i>P. argentipes</i> (Pag), <i>P. ariasi</i> (Par), <i>P. duboscqi</i> (Pdu), <i>P. papatasi</i> (Pp), <i>P. perniciosus</i> (Ppe), <i>P. sergenti</i> (Ps), <i>P. tobbi</i> (Pt), <i>Lutzomyia longipalpis</i> (Lulo), and related apyrase sequences from <i>Cimex lectularius</i> and <i>Homo sapiens</i>. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted on amino acid sequences without signal peptide using Tree Puzzle (version 5.2) by maximum likelihood (WAG model), quartet puzzling, and automatically estimated internal branch node support (10,000 replications). Sequence names, accession numbers, and branch node values are indicated.
