Phylogenetic relationships of small subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA (SSU) gene nucleotide sequence data (aligned over 563 bp) of selected Cryptosporidium taxa in relation to the novel C. viatorum genotype using the neighbor joining distance method. Individual GenBank accession numbers precede species name, followed by host common name and locality descriptors. Bootstrap support values (based on 2000 iterations) are indicated next to supported branches. Cryptosporidium baileyi was chosen as the outgroup. The novel genotype from this study is in bold-type. Scale bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
