    Khoa T D Thai
    Division of Infectious Diseases, Tropical Medicine and AIDS, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain
    PLoS ONE 3:e2752. 2008
    ..These findings demonstrate that the S10-spc-alpha locus is highly conserved throughout the genus and may be more useful in comparing evolution of the genus than loci studied previously...
