Figure 2. Phylogenetic reconstruction of the cytochrome b (A), 12S rRNA (B) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (C) genes of the Taeniidae family from consensus sequences obtained in study of Echinococcus vogeli infection in a human, Colombia, 2024. Bold text indicates strains from this study. Black dots indicate node support for bootstrap values >80. We used a maximum-likelihood approach to construct phylogenetic trees using IQ-TREE multicore version 1.6.12 (https://iqtree.github.io/release/v1.6.12). The best-fitting nucleotide substitution model for each gene was automatically selected by the software, and default parameters were applied. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference sequences. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site.
