PCR amplification of ITS-2 (~400 bp) of Toxocara genes on 1.5% agarose gel. M – 50 bp DNA marker, N – negative control. Samples from 1 to 7 represent Toxocara canis; samples from 8 to 10 represent Toxocara cati

Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree (1,000 bootstraps) based on the ITS-2 sequence of ribosomal DNA of T. canis and T. cati isolated from cats and dogs (marked brown) and other sequences of ascarid retrieved from GenBank. The sequence of Ascaridia galli ITS-2 was used as the out-group
