The phylogenetic tree of Echinococcus multilocularis based on the cox1 gene
EmPL_cox_A–EmPL_cox_G – Polish haplotypes (* – sequences of this study, numbers of isolates in each haplotype are shown in curly brackets); Aus – Austria; Can_SK1 – Canada; CHM – China (Inner Mongolia); CHQ – China (Quinhai); CHS – China (Sichuan); Est2 – Estonia; Fra – France; Jap – Japan, Kaz – Kazakhstan; Kyr – Kyrgyzstan; RUS5, RUS14, RUS17 – Russia; Slo – Slovakia. US-A – USA (Alaska - St. Lawrence Island); US-I – USA (Indiana). Values on the tree nodes are bootstrap proportions (%)
