Pile-up of partial ribosomal DNA sequences from Brugia NY strain (HE856316) and from other related Brugia spp. strains and clones, B. malayi BM28 (JQ327146), B. malayi C27Cat5 (EU373624), B. pahangi C61CAT5 (EU419348), B. pahangi C14Cat6 (EU373632), B. pahangi C7Cat6 (EU373630), B. pahangi Bp-1 (AY621469), B. pahangi C46CAT5 (EU419351), and B. pahangi C27Cat7 (EU373647). The Brugia NY strain (HE856316) is enclosed in a red box; asterisks (*) indicate conserved residues; periods (.) indicate nucleotide changes; colons (:) indicate nucleotide changes just in the Brugia NY isolate; hyphens (-) are included in the sequences to maximize the comparisons among the 9 DNA molecules. Italicized numbers in parentheses indicate the percentage of similarity with the Brugia NY isolate.
