TCS haplotype network of Schistosoma spp. partial cox1 DNA sequences (750 bp).

Produced using PopArt [56]. Hatches represent SNP differences from joined nodes and size of nodes is scaled to the number of identical haplotypes listed. Schistosoma haplotype group 1 and 2 indicates whether cercariae were identified as mainland Africa (1) or Indian Ocean Island (2) haplotypes (as described in Webster et al. [27]). Schistosoma haematobium reference haplotypes (GU257334 –GU257360) from Webster et al. [28]. Schistosoma bovis reference haplotypes (OK484569, AY157212 and MH647141) from Pennance et al. [54], Lockyer et al. [53] and Djuikwo-Teukeng et al. [55], respectively. Schistosoma curassoni reference (AY157210) from Lockyer et al. [53].
