ABSTRACT
Here we present the genetic relationships of 26 specimens of the genus Breinlia (Nematoda Filarioidea) from a range of Australian marsupials using markers in the small subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) genes and compare them with morphological determinations. The molecular data support the validity of most of the morpho-species included in the study and provide provisional insights into the phylogeny of the genus in Australian mammals, with dasyuroid marsupials appearing to be the original hosts. The recent discovery of Breinlia annulipapillata in the eye of a human brings this genus of parasites into the group of emerging infectious parasitic diseases.
