Phylogenetic relationships of B. microti strains using maximum-likelihood analysis by MEGA 5.0. Distances were estimated by the Kimura 2-parameter model and the numbers above the branch demonstrate bootstrap support from 1000 replications. The 18S rRNA gene and beta-tubulin gene sequence of P. falciparum fragile (JQ627152 and M31205) were included in the trees as outgroups. A. based on sequences coding 18S rRNA gene of B. microti; B. based on sequences coding beta-tubulin gene of B. microti, (originated from Goethert HK and Telford SR, 3rd [59], and modified from Zhou X et al. [58].
