From: SAG3 Toxoplasma gondii cloning reveals unexpected fivefold infection in the blood of feral cats in the Mexican Caribbean

Multiple sequence alignment of the SAG3 locus of Toxoplasma gondii. Blood samples were obtained from a cat (TgCatMxQR3) from Playa del Carmen, QR. The three cloned sequences from the sample (a, b and c) were aligned with SAG3 sequences of reference GT1, Me49 and VEG strains (types I, II and III, respectively). In the TgCatMxQR3b sequence, a recombinant intragenic sequence was determined (arrow): identical regions of GT1 (type I) and Me49 (type II) strains were found and are highlighted in green and red underlines, respectively. The recombination predicted site is highlighted in the yellow box. The alignment was performed with BioEdit v5.0.6 software and sequences with Gene IDs: GT1, TGGT1_308020; Me49, TGME49_308020; VEG, TGVEG_308020 in www.toxodb.org
