L. adleri HO174 was a Sauroleishmania isolate based on neighbornet network of the uncorrected p-distances of an alignment of: (a) seven concatenated genes with 4,677 sites for 225 strains. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. The L. adleri RLAT/KE/1957/SKINK-7 and MARV/ET/1975/HO174 nodes partially obscure each other. Compared to HO174, there are only two substitutions with SKINK-7, 177 substitutions with L. tarentolae RTAR/DZ/1939/Parrot-TarII, 635 with L. major MRHO/SU/1959/P-STRAIN, 627 with L. infantum MHOM/IT/1985/ISS175, 630 with L. donovani MHOM/YE/1993/LEM2677, and 599 substitutions with L. tropica MHOM/JO/1996/JH-88; (b) two concatenated genes (encoding DNA polymerase α catalytic polypeptide and RNA polymerase II largest subunit) with 2,192 sites of six samples. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. The SKINK-7 and HO174 nodes partially obscure each other. Compared to HO174, there are two substitutions with SKINK-7, 21 with L. adleri RLIZ/KE/1954/1433, 49 with L. tarentolae RTAR/DZ/1939/TarVI (from a Tarentola wall gecko) and L. tarentolae Parrot-TarII, 51 with L. hoogstraali RHEM/SD/1963/NG-26 (LV31), 55 with L. gymnodactyli RGYM/SU/1964/Ag (LV247) and 203 with L. major MHOM/SU/1973/5-ASKH. L. adleri SKINK-7 had the same number of substitutions as HO174 with each of these isolates.
