Mitogenome Phylogenetics of Spiruromorpha Porpoise Parasite: Insights Into Phylogeny of <i>Crassicauda magna</i> by Lei Han, Yuling Yang, Maolin Lu, Hongyan Yu, Yaxian Lu, Mengchao Zhou, Tianlu Liu, Ruisi Zhang, Bingyao Chen, Zhijun Hou

“…The reconstruction of the ancestral state showed that the gene orders of all species in Spirurina were conserved. The phylogenetic tree indicates that <i>C. magna</i> is closer to <i>Heliconema longissimum</i> (Physalopteroidea) than <i>Tetrameres grusi</i> (Habronematoidea). (4) Conclusions: This study provides new evidence that <i>C. magna</i> is phylogenetically closer to Physalopteroidea at the molecular taxonomic level.…”
