Main Article

Figure 4

Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on Strongyloides spp. cox1 (700 bp) sequences derived from study of Strongyloides genetic diversity among humans, dogs, and nonhuman primates, Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas, Central African Republic, 2016–2022. Tree also includes sequences downloaded from GenBank; accession numbers are provided. The alignment was performed in Geneious (https://www.geneious.com) using the general time-reversible model of nucleotide substitution with gamma distribution. Branch lengths indicate expected substitutions per site. Necator americanus (accession no. AJ417719.2) was included as an outgroup. Node support was estimated from 106 iterations. Color silhouettes indicate host species: light green, human; olive green, dog; blue, gorilla; red, chimpanzee; violet, mangabey. Colored boxes indicate species/lineage type. ASV, amplicon sequencing variant; CAR, Central African Republic.
