Agarose gel eletrophoresis of SAG2 gene products (242, 171, 211, 230 and 288bp).
Fig 2
Phylogenetic and bootstrapping analysis of 3 isolates with published archetypal lineages and atypical strains. UVAS-Toxo 1, 3 and 6 are our isolates from cat feces. XM_00384580 is the SAG2 sequence of Neospora caninum served as out-group. AF357581 is the SAG2 sequence of atypical T. gondii strain.
Fig 3
Clustal W alignment of 3 isolates of this study with the representative 3 clonal strains of Type I (EU053942), Type II (EU053943) and Type III (EU053944). Red rectangular marked sequences show dissimilarity of our isolates at 5’ locus of SAG2 with Type I, II and III strains.
