Phylogenetic relationship among consensus sequences of Theileria spp. determined in this study (bold) and the reference sequences for all Theileria spp. that infect African buffalo as well as closely related species (regular font, sequences with subtype names). Relationships were inferred from phylogenetic analysis of sequence data for a ~460‐bp region of the 18S V4 rRNA gene by neighbor joining and Bayesian inference. Neighbor joining bootstrap values >75% and Bayesian inference posterior probabilities >0.90 are included on tree branches
