Phylogenetic tree of internal transcribed spacers sequences of fungal isolates from patients with chromoblastomycosis, Madagascar. Tree was constructed by using MEGA7.0 software (https://www.megasoftware.net) and applying the maximum-likelihood method based on the Kimura 2-parameter model (100 bootstrap replicates). Numbers along branches are bootstrap values. GenBank accession numbers are provided. Detailed information for strains is available (Appendix Table). Sporpthrix schenckii was used as
