Bayesian phylogenetic inference of mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences of microfilariae and adult worms found in Acrocephalidae and Sylviidae wild birds. The tree was rooted with Ascaridia galli sequence. Bold font highlights filarioid nematodes parasitizing birds. Bold and blue fonts highlight sequences from this study. Black circles indicate sequences obtained from microfilariae, and black squares represent sequences obtained from adult worms. Letters in brackets indicates the host species; taxa with the same letter are those for which sequences were obtained from the same host individual. A, B Acrocephalus scirpaceus, C Acrocephalus arundinaceus, D Sylvia borin, E Sylvia atricapilla. GenBank accession numbers are given. Nodes with posterior probability of ≥ 70% are indicated with dots
