Figure 4:
COI (mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) haplotype network of Pratylenchus penetrans using TCS network. Circle size and hash marks between haplotypes represent numbers of specimens included in each haplotype and mutations, respectively. Geographical location of the population is designated by color. Median vectors are shown as black circles.
