Genetic and geographical relationships of H. taeniaeformis s.l. isolates based on a Bayesian inference analysis of the cox 1 locus. The relationships were inferred by Bayesian inference analysis of cox1 gene sequences of H. taeniaeformis s.l. isolates from different countries based on the Jukes–Canto model. Posterior probability values were produced using MrBbayes. The scale bar displays branch length in units of evolutionary distance. Each H. taeniaeformis s.s. or H. kamiyai sequence is identified by its accession number and geographical location (country). Novel and known nucleotide sequences obtained in the present study are shown in blue and red, respectively.
