Phylogenetic analysis. Evolutionary analysis of the 18S rRNA gene showing the phylogenetic relationship of the Theileria annulata (TA 1- TA 14) with other known Theileria species. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using MEGA6 software. Branch lengths are proportional to the estimated genetic distance between the species. GenBank accession numbers are indicated in parentheses in the figure. Fourteen representative DNA samples of each district were included in the analysis: TA 1 from Krishna district [GenBank: KT367866], TA 2 from Anantapur [GenBank: KT367867], TA 3 from Adilabad [GenBank: KT367868], TA 4 Medak [GenBank: KT367869], TA 5 from Karimnagar [GenBank:KT367870], TA 6 from Nizamabad [GenBank:KT367871], TA 7 from Hyderabad [GenBank:KT367872], TA 8 from Warangal [GenBank: KT367873], TA 9 from Rangareddy [GenBank: KT367874], TA 10 from Nallagonda [GenBank:KT367875], TA 11 from Chittor [GenBank: KT367876], TA 12 from Visakhapatnam [GenBank:KT367877], TA 13 from Srikakulam [GenBank:KT367878], TA 14 from Vijayanagaram [GenBank: KT367879] districts from Andhra pradesh and Telangana
