Comparison of the phylogenies of different genotypes within Echinococcus spp. based on cox1 (446 bp) (a), cytb (580 bp) (b), nad1 (900 bp) (c), and (d) cytb (580 bp) only for E. multilocularis. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using neighbor-joining distance method analysis with a Tamura-Nei model [29]. The reliability of these trees was assessed using bootstrap analysis with 1000 replicates. Bootstrap support is shown at the nodes. In panel a, the clade of E. equinus (G4) and E. canadensis (G6-G7) can be seen clustering with E. granulosus (G1-G3) with very significant Bootstrap value of 95. In panel b, the cluster of (G4) and (G6-G7) is also further grouping with (G1-G3) with a bootstrap value of 92. In panel c, a bootstrap value of 95 occurred at the clustering node of E. granulosus with mini cluster of E. equinus, E. ortleppi and E. canadensis. In panel d, all the different species of E. multilocularis is successfully clustered together with a high bootstrap value of 76. The results are presented with the country of origin, the genotype, and GenBank accession number; the circles indicate the sequences of E. granulosus s.l. from the present study. The scale-bars indicate the number of substitutions per site
