Figure 5.

Phylogenetic analysis of (A) Theileria, (B) Babesia, and (C) Hepatozoon species and genotypes found in ticks based on a partial 18S gene using the maximum likelihood method with 1000 bootstraps. The tick species from which each isolate was sequenced is represented by the colored pie chart at each tip, followed by the isolate name, the number of samples, and the Genbank accession number in square brackets. Sequences obtained from Genbank are indicated by their name and followed by their accession number. Bootstrap supports, represented as percentages, are indicated on each node. The branch length scale represents substitutions per site.
