Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree constructed by using the maximum likelihood algorithm (Kimura’s 2-parameter model) on the basis of the complete cox1 sequences of isolates from Diphyllobothrium species found in persons in China and related Diphyllobothrium speciesNumbers at nodes are bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) and posterior probabilities (106 generations) for maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference, respectivelySpirometra erinaceieuropaei was used as an outgroupScale bar indicates the number of base substitutions per site.
