Main Article

Figure 1

Phylogenetic trees of Baylisascaris procyonis cox1 genes from nematodes (n = 10) collected by necropsy in raccoons, Mississippi, USA, 2023–2024. Analysis was conducted using the general time-reversible plus gamma model. Bayesian posterior probabilities and bootstrap support values (1,000 bootstrap replicates) are shown for each node. GenBank accession numbers are in parentheses. Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site.
