Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS2 rDNA sequences of Pharyngostrongylus kappa and Pharyngostrongylus patriciae n. sp. from various host species and geographical locations. The sequence data were analysed using the Neighbour-Joining (NJ) and Bayesian Inference (BI) methods. There was a concordance between the topology of the BI tree and the NJ tree (not shown). Nodal support is given as a posterior probability of BI/bootstrap value for NJ. Each unique sequence is presented with a GenBank accession no. followed by the voucher number, and its host and locality. Three sequences (LT576294-LT576296) were included as reference sequences from Chilton et al. [12]. Cloacina ernabella was used as the outgroup. Scale-bar indicates the number of inferred substitutions per nucleotide site. Abbreviations: NSW, New South Wales; NT, Northern Territory; QLD, Queensland; stn, station; VIC, Victoria; WA, Western Australia
