Fig. 3

Inferred phylogenetic relationships of Trichuris spp. from primates and other mammals based on mitochondrial cox1 sequences, with indications on host affiliation and assignment to subgroups. Phylogeny was inferred using neighbour joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The reference species Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella britovi were used as outgroups. Following the subgroup order and host affiliation in Fig. 2, Trichuris spp. recovered from primates were genetically divided into another two subgroups (Subgroups 1’ and 6) and indicated by differently coloured rectangles. The numbers along the branches show bootstrap values resulting from different analyses in the order NJ/MP/BI; values < 50% are not shown
