Phylogenetic tree for Dioctophyme renale roundworm showing a sequence from a patient with gastric submucosal tumor (black triangle), South Korea, 2024. Phylogenetic tree was based on the targeted 974-bp PCR amplicon sequence of D. renale from small subunit rRNA gene (18s RNA gene) sequences retrieved from GenBank (accession numbers shown). CLUSTAL X (http://www.clustal.org/clustal2) was used to construct phylogenetic tree by using neighbor-joining with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. We compared the D. renale sequence from our case with other roundworm sequences, and it aligned with 100% homology to D. renale. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
