Phylogeny of internal transcribed spacer 2 sequences of An. stephensi isolates from Kenya (OQ275146.1, OQ275144.1, OQ275145.1, OQ878216, OQ87821, and OQ878218) in comparison to An. stephensi isolates from other parts of the world. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference sequences; accession numbers for Kenya sequences are provided in Table 3. Scale bar indicates 20% nucleotide sequence divergence. Values on the branches represent the percentage of 1,000 bootstrap replicates; bootstrap values >70% are shown in the tree.
