Amount, location, and nature of heterozygous loci in E. cuniculi and comparison with Nematocida. (A) Phylogenetic reconstruction of the studied microsporidian species based on the nucleotide sequences of the actin and alpha-tubulin genes. Known genotype, parasite's host, amount of variation, and nature of variation are indicated. SNPs and indels are included in the count of (non)synonymous mutations. Antonospora locustae was used as an outgroup. The total number of heterozygous sites is presented in a bar graph on a logarithmic (log₁₀) scale. An asterisk indicates that variation was found using 454 sequencing. The Encephalitozoon genus is highlighted by a gray square. A detailed list of heterozygous loci is shown in Table 1.
