Fig 2. Haplotype network of the concatenated sequences of the genes cob, nad2 and cox1 from 75 isolates from E. multilocularis from this study including 52 samples from humans and 23 samples from dogs.

Concatenated sequences from European haplotypes E1-E5, Asian haplotypes A1-A10 and North American haplotypes N1-N2 are also included; these sequences were downloaded from NCBI and were originally published by Nakao et al., [19]. Haplotypes described in this study are named A11-A26 (Accession Numbers: MN829497-MN829544); haplotype A26 is not included in the figure due to a nucleotide deletion in the cox1 gene as explained in the results section. Nucleotide diversity n = 0.00333811, number of segregating sites = 83, number of parsimony-informative sites = 33, Tajima’s D: -0.611996 p (D<-0.611996) = 0.579195.
