<p>A species tree generated with SVD quartets recovered monophyletic clades for miracidia sampled from humans and those sampled from cattle<i>.</i> Published <i>S. curassoni. S. guineensis</i> are included<i>,</i> and we used <i>S. margrebowiei</i> to root the tree<i>.</i> Mitotype, ITS genotype, and the <i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry component from the Admixture analysis are plotted at the tips of the tree. Mitotypes and ITS genotypes did not correspond consistently with clade structure. In contrast, the <i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry component clearly differentiates the <i>S. haematobium</i> clade from humans from the livestock <i>Schistosoma</i> clades. These results show that mitochondrial and ITS markers are not consistent with whole-genome ancestry patterns. Clades supported in ≥90% of bootstrap replicates are indicated with a “*”. Samples lacking an ITS are designated with “NA”. In each case these were samples sequenced in previous work. The human and cow silhouettes indicate the host from which each parasite was sampled.</p>
