Fig. 2

Median-joining haplotype network obtained for 631 bp of mitochondrial nad5 sequences of E. granulosus s.s. Circle size is relative to haplotype frequency; black circles represent extinct or unsampled haplotypes. Hatch marks on the line represent mutational steps between haplotypes. Haplotype colors represent geographic locations of haplotypes as indicated in the right corner of the figure (yellow = Iran, red = Turkey). Host species are indicated with letters inside the haplotypes (C = cattle, S = sheep, H = human). The numbers in parentheses inside haplotypes (in front of letters) indicate the frequency of the haplotype observed in the related host. Haplotype information is summarized in Table 1
