Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

Protostrongylid L.1 larvae patterns recovered from antelopes, Muellerius capillaris (left) and Neostrongylus linearis (right), showing the morphological characteristics of the tail.

Fig. 2

Comparative LPG means in the all three antelopes for Muellerius capillaris (left) and Neostrongylus linearis (right).

Fig. 3

Comparative prevalence rates across the three antelopes for Muellerius capillaris (left) and Neostrongylus linearis (right).

Fig. 4

The condensed phylogenetic relationships of Protostrongylids based on ITS-2 sequences of the rDNA, using the Neighbor-Joining method with the Tamura 3-parameter method. The percentages of replicate trees in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The analysis involved 14 rDNA ITS-2 nucleotide sequences (5 from antelopes, 4 from local sheep and 5 from Genbank). Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7.

Fig. 5

The phylogenetic relationships showing topology of Protostrongylids using the Neighbor-Joining method with the Tamura 3-parameter method with the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) shown next to the branches. The analysis involved 10 rDNA ITS-2 nucleotide sequences (2 from antelopes and 8 from Genbank). Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7.
