a

The E. cuniculi and E. romaleae values are from Pombert et al. (6). The E. intestinalis and E. hellem values are from the 2014 accession updates.

b

The numbers of chromosomes for O. colligata were estimated based on the chromosomal reorganizations observed with the Encephalitozoon species.

c

The numbers of small-subunit and large-subunit (SSU-LSU) rRNA genes were inferred based on their overall coverage relative to other genes.

d

NA, the ncRNAs in E. cuniculi and E. romaleae were not assessed. They are likely similar in number and content to those found in O. colligata, E. intestinalis, and E. hellem.
