Figure 1

Neighbour-joining tree of aligned 18S sequences after a bootstrap test with 500 replicates made using the Jukes-Cantor model [33]. The tree is based on the final dataset that included 1,025 base pair positions (472+534) of the 18S Babesia sequences. The percentage of replicate trees, in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 replicates), are shown next to the branches (only values above 50 are displayed). Sequences from the unknown Babesia sample, 'Sample x', cluster with B. venatorum (EU1) sequences that were included in the alignment. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA 5 [27].
