Abstract:
The medically relevant species complex has a variety of phenotypic presentations but shows relatively little genetic differences. Conventional barcodes, such as the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region or the beta-tubulin gene, are not able to completely resolve the relationships between these closely related taxa. , and are currently accepted as separate species. However, the status of certain variants, including the morphotypes and and the morphotype , remains to be deciphered. We conducted the first phylogenomic analysis of the species complex by studying 3105 core genes of 18 new st…
