Phylogenetic trees for study strains of Fasciolopsis buski trematodes recovered from child patients in Sitamarhi, Bihar, and pigs in Sivasagar, Assam, India, and reference sequences. Red indicates isolates from India; asterisks indicate strains from this study. Tree was constructed using the maximum-likelihood method as implemented in MrBayes version 3.1.2 (https://bioweb.pasteur.fr/packages/pack@mrbayes@3.1.2). A) Internal transcribed spacer 2 gene tree using Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano plus invariate sites model. B) Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene tree using general time reversible plus gamma model. The analyses were run for 5,000,000 generations with sampling frequency of 100 and initial 25% of the trees discarded as burn-in. Node values represent Bayesian posterior probabilities. GenBank accession numbers are provided when available. Scale bars represent branch length.
