  1. These percentage differences are based on comparisons between three operational taxonomic units of Hypodontus macropi from three different hosts (i.e., OTU-C from Macropus robustus robustus; OTU-G from Macropus bicolor, OTU-J from Thylogale billardierii) and Macropicola ocydromi (Mo) from Macropus fuliginosus.
