From: Molecular and morphological phylogeny of host-specific Dactylogyrus parasites (Monogenea) sheds new light on the puzzling Middle Eastern origin of European and African lineages

Phylogenetic tree of 48 Dactylogyrus species from cyprinids resulting from BI analysis. The tree is based on concatenated partial sequences of genes coding 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA, and the ITS1 region. Numbers along branches represent posterior probabilities (> 0.80) and bootstrap support values (> 50) for individual nodes, resulting from BI and ML analyses, respectively. Lower values are shown as dashes (–). The length of branches represents the number of substitutions per site. The letters (a–d) and the numbers (1–6) represent specific clades. The colours represent regions of distribution of the respective Dactylogyrus species: blue—Northwest Africa; red—Middle East; violet—Iberian Peninsula; green—Balkan and Apennine Peninsulas; black—various regions across Europe; orange species are common parasites of cyprinins originating from Eastern Asia
