Maximum Likelihood tree depicting phylogenetic relationship of the cox1 (681 bp), 12S (616 bp), 18S (715 bp), and 28S (1081 bp) genes between various known Filarioidea species, including the first sequence of Stephanofilaria stilesi, created with MEGAX. a cox1 gene. b 12S gene. c 18S gene. d 28S gene. Branches with < 50% bootstrap support were collapsed. To show comparisons, Stephanofilaria sp. from Naseem et al. [47] is labeled with an unfilled circle, and S. stilesi samples are labeled with a filled circle. In addition, the families are portrayed in different colors to highlight species of Onchocercidae (pink), Thelazioidea (gray), and Filariidae (blue). Each S. stilesi sample has been accessioned in GenBank (COI: OP589131-3; 12S: OP596210-12; 18S: OP596207-9; 28S: OP596263)
