Phylogenetic reconstruction of Theileria and Babesia species based on a 610-bp alignment of the 18S rRNA gene. Maximum likelihood tree inferred using TN + F + I + G4 evolutive model. The support of branches above 50 is shown (based on 1000 bootstrap replicates). Symbols at branch tips refer to the hosts from which parasites were detected. The sequence generated in the present study is highlighted in bold. The 18S rRNA gene sequence (EU052685) of Cardiosporidium cionae (Van Gaver and Stephan, 1907) was used as an outgroup. Sequences marked * or ** are referred to as Rangelia vitalii (Pestana, 1910) and Theileria sp. in GenBank, respectively. The nomenclature of the clades is according to Jalovecka et al. [28].
