Figure. Test results for woman with disseminated Versteria sp. cestode infection, Pennsylvania, USA. A) Sequence of the 129-bp fragment of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene from patient compared with 3 closely related Versteria sp. isolates from the United States. Shading indicates differing nucleotides. B) Phylogenetic tree based on the cox1 gene of all reported Vm cox1 sequences with country of origin and other clinically relevant cestodes; GenBank accession numbers are provided. Boldface indicates the Vm sequence reported in this study; shading represents the outbranching of Vm. Bootstrap values are shown.
