Figure 6From: The midgut transcriptome of Lutzomyia longipalpis: comparative analysis of cDNA libraries from sugar-fed, blood-fed, post-digested and Leishmania infantum chagasi-infected sand fliesCharacterization of peritrophin sequences. (A) Diagrammatic representation of Lutzomyia longipalpis peritrophin-like molecules showing the predicted signal peptide and chitin binding domains. (B) Phylogenetic analysis of predicted chitin binding domains of peritrophin molecules from Aedes aegypti (Ae), Anopheles gambiae (Ag) Ctenocephalides felis (Cf), Lucilia cuprina (Luc), Phlebotomus papatasi (Pp), Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lulo). Accession numbers are given in parenthesis and bootstrap values indicate node support.Back to article page
