Rooted maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the cytochrome oxidase c gene sequence from 73 Onchocerca lupi nematode samples, including 43 newly obtained samples from 37 coyotes, 4 dogs, and 2 humans, southwestern United States, 2015–2018. This analysis covers 432 bases. Branch lengths indicate the number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms; red dots indicate bootstrap values >99; blue dots indicate bootstrap values <65. Countries of collection, host species, and year of collection are indicated. Newly sequenced specimens are in bold. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
