Phylogenetic relationship of sequences in the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox-1; 446 bp). The sequence derived from DNA from the cranial cyst of the present patient from Australia (bold-type) and other reference sequences from selected Taenia taxa were subjected to analysis using the neighbor-joining distance tree building method. Individual GenBank accession numbers precede species names. Bootstrap values (based on 2,000 iterations) are located next to supported branches. Taenia laticollis (from lynx) was selected as the outgroup. The scale bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
