... 552 bp of COI gene region was amplified for three individual specimens of A. indica. The COI sequences of three specimens were aligned with the sequences of other valid species of the genus Acanthocepola retrieved from NCBI (Table 1) and edited using BioEdit sequence alignment editor version 7.0.5.2 (Hall, 1999). The phylogenetic tree was constructed by adopting the method of maximum likelihood with gamma distribution and 1000 bootstrap replicates. ...
