Figure 3From: Exploring the midgut transcriptome of Phlebotomus papatasi: comparative analysis of expression profiles of sugar-fed, blood-fed and Leishmania major-infected sandfliesCharacterisation of peritrophin sequences. (A) Diagrammatic representation of Phlebotomus papatasi peritrophin-like molecules showing the predicted signal peptide and chitin-binding domains. (B) Phylogenetic analysis of chitin-binding domains of peritrophin molecules from Aedes aegypti (Ae), Anopheles gambiae (Ag) Ctenocephalides felis (Cf), Lucilia cuprina (Luc), Phlebotomus papatasi (Pp), Lutzomyia longipalpis (Ll). Accession numbers are indicated in parenthesis and bootstrap values at the nodes.Back to article page
