Maximum likelihood phylograms of the ClustalW alignment of: (A) The deduced amino acid herpesviral DNA polymerase sequences (i) found in Pyrenean Capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus) (blue dot), (ii) the closest sequences from GenBank database, and iii) other alphaherpesvirus sequences described in birds, with Mardivirus and Iltovirus genera accepted species. Human gammaherpesvirus 8 was selected as outgroup. The herpesvirus phylogram was based on the gamma distributed Le and Gascuel model with Invariant sites and Gamma distribution (LG + I + G). (B) The Haemoproteus cytochrome b sequence found in Pyrenean Capercaillies and other birds, with Leucocytozoon schoutedeni selected as outgroup; it was based on Gamma distribution (GTRGAMMA). (C) The cytochrome b sequence of Leucocytozoon sp. found in Pyrenean Capercaillies and other birds, with Haemoproteus belopolskyi selected as outgroup, and based on Gamma distribution (GTRGAMMAI). The reliability of all phylograms was tested by a 1000 bootstrap analysis; those bootstrap values lower than 70 were omitted.
