Figure 5

Schematic of phylogenetic relationships of Trichuris spp. infecting humans and nonhuman primates adapted from previously published studies. Relationships are indicated for the ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region (A) and the mitochondrial genome (B). Two major clades of Trichuris in the ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA phylogenies infected both humans and nonhuman primates. Yellow circle indicates T. trichiura from Pemba Island, blue indicates T. trichiura from Laos, and red circle indicates T. incognita from Côte d’Ivoire. Pig-derived T. suis is also included in the tree as a reference. Star indicates Trichinella spiralis, used as an outgroup.
