Phylogenetic relationships between Schistocephalus solidus (Schistocephalidae) and seven other parasitic worm species. These other species include five cestodes from the Cyclophyllidea and Pseudophyllidea orders and two trematodes (outgroups). More specifically, species from the cestode phylum include Hymenolepis microstoma (rodent tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), Echinococcus multilocularis (fox tapeworm), Echinococcus granulosus (dog tapeworm) and Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (responsible for the sparganosis infection), while the trematode outgroups are represented by Schistosoma mansoni (responsible for diseases such as schistosomiatis) and Clonorchis sinensis (Chinese liver fluke). Bootstrap values were all 100. Total number of single-copy orthologs used to produce the phylogenetic tree = 4 520 (distributed in 565 core orthologous groups). The number of orthologs shared with S. solidus is defined as the number of amino acid sequences in a given species that are part of an orthologous group identified by orthoMCL that also contains sequences from S. solidus
