Phylogenetic estimates of the interrelationships of 7 Taenia species for which complete mtDNAs are available, based on: a. Bayesian analysis of all alignable amino acids of protein coding genes from complete mtDNAs, b. Bayesian analysis of all alignable, unsaturated nucleotides from complete mtDNAs (8 partitions; see text), c. cladistic analysis of morphology [6], d. maximum likelihood and parsimony analysis of partial cox 1 and partial nuclear 28S rDNA [57], and e. maximum likelihood analysis of partial cox 1 and partial nad 1 [58]. Scale bars in a. and b. indicate number of substitutions per site; c, d and e are drawn as cladograms with equal branch lengths to indicate topologies only as they are adapted from larger analyses.
