Phylogenetic relationships based on the COII-16S sequences of Meloidogyne kikuyensis De Grisse, 1961 and other Meloidogyne species. The phylogenetic tree was deduced by maximum likelihood (ML) analysis with the HKY model and 1,000 bootstrap replicates (only values of bootstrap above 60% are shown). The COII-16S sequence of Radopholus similis was used as an outgroup.
