(A) Phylogenetic tree analysis of SP14-like proteins from P. papatasi (PpSP14), P. duboscqi Mali (PduM50, Pdum57 and PduM60) and P. duboscqi Kenya (PduK49 and PduK58). (B) Sequence alignment of the orthologues PduK58 and PduM60. Black-shaded amino acids (aa) represent identical aa, grey-shaded aa represent conserved aa and * at the top of the aa denotes potential T cell epitopes as searched by using the TEPITOPE software. (C) Sequence alignment of the orthologues PduK49 and PduM50. Black-shaded aa represent identical aa, grey-shaded aa represent conserved aa and * at the top of aa denotes potential T-cell epitopes as searched by using the TEPITOPE software.
