Phylogenetic relationship between the Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype groups. The relationship between the E. bieneusi genotypes identified in this study and other known genotypes deposited in GenBank was inferred using neighbor-joining analysis of ITS sequences on the basis of genetic distance by the Kimura two-parameter model. The numbers on the branches are percentage bootstrapping values from 1000 replicates. Each sequence was identified by its accession number, host origin, and genotype designation. The group terminology for the clusters is based on the study by Zhao et al.(2014). The solid and open circles indicate novel and known genotypes identified in this study, respectively
