Information was taken from the following sources: (McNulty et al., 2012; Ramesh et al., 2012). W. bancrofti strains from India (I), West Africa (WA) and Papua New Guinea (PNG) were described by Ramesh et al while a W. bancrofti strain from PNG was sequenced by McNulty et al. The abbreviations Bm and Wb were used for B. malayi and W. bancrofti, respectively.
