Phylogenetic relationship of hydatid cysts of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato recovered from Sudanese cattle and other genotypes identified globally. NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (NADH-1) partial sequences generated from this study were aligned with sequences of other strains from different parts of the world. Sequences were analyzed with the BioEdit software (Ibis Biosciences, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The phylogenetic tree was constructed using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) implemented in MEGA software version 6.0 [31]. Bootstrap values were calculated from analysis of 500 replicates of the data set, and values greater than 50% are indicated at the appropriate nodes. Each genotype was designated by its GenBank accession number and the country of origin when available. The GenBank accession numbers (LC167080, LC167081) were given for Echinococcus granulossus sensu stricto (G1) and Echinococcus orteleppi (G5), respectively. Echinococcus canadensis genotypes (G6) were given accession numbers LC167082 and LC167083). Corresponding nucleotide sequence of NADH 1 of Taenia multiceps, GenBank accession number HM143887, was used as an out group. The partial NADH-1gene sequences identified in this study were highlighted in red color for clarity of the constructed phylogenetic tree
