Phylogenetic analysis
All sequences were edited and aligned using Geneious alignment in Geneious Prime version 2019.0.4 software (Biomatters, New Zealand). Homologous sequences of reference and sequence entries closely related with each of the individual sequences generated in this study were identified through BLAST nucleotide searches against the GenBank nr database (Altschup et al., 1990). Each of the datasets compiled in this manner were aligned and the terminal regions corresponding to the primer sequences were removed prior to phylogenetic analysis. Maximum likelihood phylogenies were inferred for each gene using PhyML version 3.0., employing the Akaike information criterion for automatic selection for appropriate model of evolution (Guindon et al., 2010). Trees were visualised and edited in Figtree 1.4 (Rambaut, 2014).
