Phylogenetic relationships among Paragonimus westermani inferred from mtCOI data of distance matrix methods using genus Paragonimus as outgroups. Minimum evolution analysis by the Kimura-2-parameter distance was used. Numbers on branches indicate the percentage of 100 bootstraps supporting the branching pattern shown. The mtCOI sequence of P. westermani and genus Paragonimus used in the analyses were obtained from GenBank: Hyogo, Japan (U97205); Amakusa, Japan (U97206); Chiba, Japan (U97207); Mie, Japan (U97208); Minqing, China (U97209); Sungai Wa, Malaysia (U97210); Kuala Pilah, Mlaysia (U97211); Thailand (U97212); Leyte, Philippines (U97213); P. siamensis (AF159599); P. heterotremus (AF159597); P. mexicanus (AF159596); P. miyazakii (U97215); P. skrjabini (U97216); P. macrorchus (AF159598); P. sadoensis (AF0008190); P. ohirai (AF008189); P. iloktsuenensis (AF008188) and P. harinasutai (AF159600).
