Nucleotide alignment of the mitochondrial DNA  cox  1 gene sequences. Line 1: R.cap-cox1a haplotype sequence obtained from sporocysts, cercariae and adults of Renylaima capensis; Line 2: R.cap-cox1b haplotype sequence obtained from metacercariae of Renylaima capensis; Line 3: last part of the 897-bp-long fragment from Glaphyrostomum sp. [GenBank: FJ713138] [52]. Nucleotides distributed according to 90 positions per line. Three mutation differences between the two haplotypes of R. capensis marked in green.
