aNames of sub-groups as previously defined [7, 11]

bBabesia microti-like sp. isolated from foxes and Spanish dogs is also referred to in the literature by a number of alternative names. This organism will be referred to as Babesia microti-like sp. in this manuscript due to a recent publication classifying alternative names as unavailable [63].

cDenotes mitochondrial genomes that were first characterized in this study

dTwo mitochondrial genomes that vary in sequence and structure have been reported for B. microti; both are utilized in this study
