18S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis reveals the presence of multiple filarioid nematodes in Minnesota tabanid horseflies. Fifty-four nematode 18S rRNA gene sequences (796 bp) were used in the analysis. Fly isolate F-369 was not included in the analysis due to poor quality sequence data. The evolutionary history was inferred using the maximum likelihood method and evolutionary distances computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method. The tree is drawn to scale. Bootstrap values are shown above the branches. Colored markers correspond to fly species and trapping location. Reference nematodes are labeled with their respective NCBI GenBank accession number
