“…Importantly, these methods have been used before in the analysis of other organisms like the protozoa Hepatozoon spp. (Vasquez-Aguilar et al, 2021) or Northern Birch mice (Andersen et al, 2022) using longer sequences such as mitochondrial DNA or a higher number of specimens. Therefore, a major limitation of this study relies in the analysis of a lower number of S. lupi sequences due to the difficulty in obtaining whole specimens from dog lesions.…”

Spirocerca lupi is a parasitic nematode of domestic and wild canids of the world. This nematode induces esophageal spirocercosis and may eventually lead to carcinomas, aortic aneurisms, and death of the animal. Two genotypes of S. lupi have been described based on specimens from Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, but no profound analysis has been conducted with S. lupi from the Americas. To study this, S. lupi specimens isolated from domestic dogs from Mexico, Costa Rica, and the United States, were molecularly characterized using 18S rDNA and cox1 fragments. Bayesian inference (BI) phylogenetic trees, Templeton-Crandall-Sing (TCS) haplotype networks and Principal coordinate analysis on nucleotide distances were constructed for each locus separately. In addition, a phylogeographic study using a fragment of the cox1 gene was used to infer the evolutionary history of the genus. BI cox1 trees grouped S. lupi from the Americas in genotype 1, together with Israeli specimens, and showed a high nucleotide identity with those worms. In the TCS network, American specimens clustered next to Israeli S. lupi. Furthermore, the 18S rDNA gene fragment separated Costa Rican worms from African, Asian, and European specimens and other species of the family Spiruridae. Interestingly, the phylogeographic analysis suggested that the origin of S. vulpis was in Europe, and it later diverged into S. lupi that spread first to Africa, then to Asia and finally to the Americas. Therefore, we suggest that the worms from the American continent might have originated from Asia by dispersion of infected intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts.

“…Phylogeographic analysis was done in all fragment B cox1 sequences as also applied in other studies with eukaryotes (Tremetsberger et al, 2015;Vasquez-Aguilar et al, 2021;Andersen et al, 2022). A discrete phylogenetic diffusion analysis with the BEAST v1.10.4 software (Bouckaert et al, 2019) was applied.…”

Repeated climatic and vegetation changes during the Pleistocene have shaped biodiversity in Northern Europe including Denmark. The Northern Birch Mouse (Sicista betulina) was one of the first small rodent species to colonize Denmark after the Late Glacial Maximum. This study analyses complete mitochondrial genomes and two nuclear genes of the Northern Birch Mouse to investigate the phylogeographical pattern in North-western Europe and test whether the species colonized Denmark through several colonization events. The latter was prompt by (i) the present-day distinct northern and southern Danish distribution and (ii) the subfossil record of Northern Birch Mouse, supporting early Weichselian colonization. Samples from Denmark,
