Figure 3. Maximum-likelihood reconstruction of phylogeny on the basis of 12S rDNA sequences of a Pelecitus sp. nematode isolated from the left eye of a 61-year-old man in Thailand (bold text) and reference sequences from GenBank. Bootstrap scores (percentages of 1,000 replications) are presented for each node. GenBank accession numbers are shown. Scale bar refers to a phylogenetic distance of 0.05 nucleotide substitutions per site.
