pv12 and pv38 haplotype alignment. A. Alignment of the six haplotypes found in the pv12 gene. Haplotypes 2, 3, 5 and 6 were found in the Colombian population. B. Alignment of the 17 haplotypes found in pv38, 14 of them found in the Colombian population (haplotypes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17). The dots indicate nucleotide identity and dashes indicate nucleotide absence. Numbering is based on the Sal-I reference sequence.
