^aNematodes are classified into five clades. Clade II is not shown because there are no genetic data available for any clade II species.

^bAccession numbers of all sequences are available on GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

^cSequence/DB (database); E, expressed sequence tag(s) (EST) is known; P, a complete protein open reading frame cDNA is available.

^dMIF sequence type based on homology to either Caenorhabditis elegans MIF-1 (CeMIF-1; NP_499536) or MIF-2 (CeMIF-2; NP_506003).

^ePercent identity to either CeMIF-1 or CeMIF-2 based on BLASTP of translated amino acid sequences.
