However, our knowledge of the molecular phylogeny of the Cosmocercidae is still far from comprehensive. The phylogenetic relationships between Cosmocercidae and the other two families, Atractidae and Kathlaniidae, in the superfamily Cosmocercoidea are still under debate. Moreover, the systematic position of some genera within Cosmocercidae remains unclear. SN - 1756-3305 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-021-04667-9 DO - 10.1186/s13071-021-04667-9 ID - Chen2021 ER -
