Reverse transcription of cellular RNA was used to obtain sequences from regions of 18S and 26/28S ribosomal RNA for eight species of ascaridoid nematodes. Phylogenetic relationships among these species were inferred from the aligned sequences by maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood methods. Seventy-nine of the 168 sites that varied were phylogenetically informative in parsimony analysis. Ph...
