Figure

Maximum-likelihood estimate of the phylogenetic position of a Spirometra mansoni tapeworm collected from a crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) in Colombia. Red indicates specimens from South America; bold indicates newly characterized S. mansoni from this report. Names of the 3 species-level lineages of Spirometra in South America are indicated; GenBank numbers are provided. Nodal support values show standard bootstrap supports >50. Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site.
