Fig. 2.

Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of 18S rDNA sequences of Myxidium acutum n. sp., Myxidium truncatum n. sp., Myxidium orbiculare n. sp. and related species. Ceratomyxa shasta was used as the outgroup. Nodal supports are indicated for ML at 1000 replicates and Bayesian Inference (BI). Only values with ≥ 70% bootstrap (BS) and ≥ 0.90 posterior probabilities (PP) support are presented. The names of the parasite species are presented before GenBank accession numbers, following the host species, infection site and habitat. Sequences obtained in the present study are shown in bold within colored boxes. The scale bar indicates the expected number of substitutions per site.
