NJ phylogenetic tree constructed based on (K2P) inferred from COI of B. indica, M. meltada, R. rattus, and T. indica. The bootstrap values are displayed adjacent to the branches. The study included 51 nucleotide sequences. All positions with gaps and missing data were removed. The final dataset contained 614 positions in total. NJ, Neighbor Joining.
