Family Mermithidae • Family Onchocercidae • (Filariidae) • Order Rhabditida • Genus Toxocara • Order Strongylida • Genus Ascaris
Methods • small subunit (SSU) rDNA sequences, primarily 18S rDNA • 18S and 28S rRNa • protein families using expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
Questions Still Open • Accuracy of present phylogeny? (due to magnitude of diversity) • Contribution of horizontal gene transfer?
