Phylogeny of ama-1. The ama-1 sequences from Babesia sp. Mymensingh from cows R and V (amplified by Babesia sp. Mymensingh-specific PCR) and from Babesia sp. Hue-1 from cow C8 (amplified by B. ovata PCR) together with those retrieved from GenBank were used to construct a maximum likelihood phylogeny. The gene sequences determined in the present study are indicated by boldface type. Note that the Babesia sp. Hue-1 sequences clustered with those previously reported in Vietnam and formed a sister clade to B. ovata, while the Babesia sp. Mymensingh formed a separate clade.
