Phylogenetic Relationship of a6 and nd8 gene sequences for two Venezuelan Trypanosoma spp. isolates. Phylogenetic trees for the a6 (a) and nd8 (b) gene sequences were inferred by Maximum Parsimony (MP, bold numbers) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods in MEGA 5.1 ®, 500 replicates (bootstrap > 75 % are shown). T. cruzi was used as outgroup. The tree topology shown corresponds to the ML method derived from previous evolutionary sequence alignment. a6 = Tamura-Nei. nd8 = Kimura 2-parameter
