Phylogenetic relationship of the GP60 gene between Cryptosporidium canis subtype families (XXa to XXe) using a maximum likelihood tree. Substitution rates were calculated using the general time reversible model and gamma distribution with invariant sites. The numbers on branches indicate the percent bootstrapping values over 50% by using 1000 replicates. The recently described sequences by Jiang et al. (2021) are in bold letters. A Cryptosporidium parvum sequence of the GP60 gene obtained in this study was used as an outgroup. The assignment to the respective subtype families is indicated with brackets
