Diversity and neutrality indices using nucleotide data of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) (386 base pairs) mitochondrial gene for Taenia hydatigena metacestdoes removed from wild boar, southern Italy

Mitochondrial gene	No. of isolates	Polymorphic sites	hn	hd ± s.d.	πd ± s.d.	Tajima's D	P value	Fu's Fs	P value
