Phylogenetic tree of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis isolates from North-Khorasan Province, northeastern Iran (indicated in bold) and reference sequences for E. granulosus (sensu lato) and other species of Echinococcus chosen from previous studies. The relationships were estimated based on phylogenetic analysis of concatenated cox1+nad1 sequence data (600 nucleotides in total) using Bayesian inference; the sources and accession numbers of the sequences are listed in Table 3. The scale-bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. Nodal support is given as a posterior probability (pp) value. Taenia saginata was used as the outgroup
