Phylogenetic Analysis of Entomoparasitic Nematodes, Potential Control Agents of Flea Populations in Natural Foci of Plague

Figure 5

Phylogenetic tree of Tylenchida, inferred from SSU-ITS1-5.8S-LSU rDNA sequences. Topology was inferred using the PhyloBayes software (maxdiff = 0.36). Node support values are shown as follows: the first two values are Bayesian posterior probability assessed using the PhyloBayes and MrBayes software, respectively, and the third is bootstrap support assessed by the ML method. Thick lines lead to the nodes, in which at least one support value of posterior probability is 0.95 and higher. Names of clades (framed) are mainly given by type genera included in them (with the exception of Iotonchioidea). Formal taxonomic position (family by [8]) is shown on the right to the color bar. Colors indicate the ecologies (see the legend). Names of the species of Hexatylina that have a mycetophagous stage in their life cycle are shown in blue. The three robust major branches of Tylenchida are marked by gradient.
