BACKGROUND: Anguillicolidae Yamaguti, 1935 is a family of nematode parasites infecting fresh-water eels of the genus Anguilla, with five species in the genera Anguillicola and Anguillicoloides. Anguillicolidae is part of Spirurina, a diverse clade made up of only animal parasites. Anguillicoloides crassus is of particular importance, as it has recently spread from its endemic range in the Eastern Pacific to Europe and North America, where it poses a significant threat to new, naïve hosts such as the economic important eel species Anguilla anguilla and Anguilla rostrata. The Anguillicolidae are therefore all potentially invasive taxa, but the relationships of the described species remain unclear. RESULTS: We generated an extensive DNA sequence dataset from three loci (the 5' one-third of the nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA, the D2-D3 region of the nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA and the 5' half of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene) for the five species of Anguillicolidae and used this to ... : Phylogeny of the Anguillicolidae Supplementary DataSequence data files and keys thereto as a single compressed file, expandable to a folder containing: Cytochrome oxidase 1 data, COX1.haplotypes.nex, NEXUS format file of aligned COXI haplotype sequences, COX1.haplotypes.labels.txt, text file describing the assignment of individual COXI sequences to hapolotypes, COX1.haplotypes.crassus.nex, NEXUS format file of aligned A. crassus COXI haplotype sequences, COX1.haplotypes.crassus.labels.txt, text file describing the assignment of individual A. crassus COXI sequences to hapolotypes, COX1.nex, NEXUS format file of all aligned COXI haplotype sequences, Nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA data, 28_S.haplotypes.nex NEXUS format file of aligned nLSU or 28S haplotype sequences, 28_S.nex, NEXUS format file of all aligned nLSU or 28S haplotype sequences, Nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA data, 18_S.haplotypes.nex, NEXUS format file of aligned nSSU or 18S haplotype sequences, 18_S.spirurina_B.nex, NEXUS format file of ...
