Fig. 2. Phylogenic analysis: the Amblyomma americanum (Aam) Oatp
and three Ixodes scapularis (Isc) Oatp sequences that were
identified by a third-party annotation in this study, and the indicated
Homo sapiens (hs) and mosquito sequences that were downloaded from
GenBank were aligned using the Clustal W algorithm contained in MacVector DNA
sequence analysis software. Accession numbers of tick Oatp sequences that are
marked with asterisks are given in the text.
