Table 5 Pairwise comparison (%) of the amino acid sequence inferred for each of the 12 protein coding mitochondrial genes from Haemonchus contortus (Hc) versus all previously described protein coding mt genes from Ancylostoma duodenale (Ad), Necator americanus (Na) and Cooperia oncophora (Co).

From: Using 454 technology for long-PCR based sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome from single Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda)
