Phylogenetic relationship among XIXa subtypes of Cryptosporidium felis identified in this study and references from GenBank based on maximum likelihood analysis of the sequences of partial gp60 gene: bootstrap values over 50 percent are shown on the branches of the phylogenetic tree. The human-, monkey-, and cat-derived isolates are indicated by rhombus, star, and round labels, respectively. Sequences from different countries are shown in different colors. The names of known subtype families of C. felis are shown on the right side of the phylogenetic tree. The subtype name of each isolate is labeled at the end of the sequence.
