The phylogram of Blastocystis subtypes was inferred based on the nucleotide sequences of SSU rRNA gene. The evolutionary relationship of Blastocystis subtypes was constructed by the Maximum Likelihood method and Kimura 2-parameter model, based on the nucleotide sequences of SSU rRNA gene of Blastocystis isolated from stray cats [SC], household cats [C], and cat owners [H] in this study (blue circles) compared with nucleotide sequences of Blastocystis subtypes retrieved from GenBank, with Proteromonas lacertae (U37108) as outgroup. Bootstrap values obtained from 1000 replicates are indicated on branches in percentage; only bootstrap values > 50% are displayed. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X.
