Fig 6. Median-joining haplotype network generated from concatenated sequences of cob1 (603 bp), nad2 (882 bp) and cox1 (789 bp), illustrating relationships between the examined Slovak isolates with completely recorded sequences for three genes and related haplotypes of Echinococcus multilocularis.

Labelled circles indicate representatives of distinct haplotypes, transversal bars at branches represent point mutations, and circle size correlates with haplotype frequency. Green circles–European haplotypes, red circles–Asian haplotypes, yellow circles–North American haplotypes. Sample codes: SK1, SK4, SK5 –examined isolates from Slovakia (this study); EMPL1, EMPL3, EMPL5, EMPL8, EMPL9, EMPL12, EMPL13, EMPL14 –isolates from Poland [33]; EST2 –isolate from Estonia [38]; CDN1 –isolate from Canada [39]; E1—E5, A1, A3, A8, N1, N2, O1 –reference isolates taken from Nakao et al. [12].
