Phylogenetic tree of hypervariable 18S rRNA gene sequences of Babesia and Theileria parasites using maximum likelihood. The sequence of each isolate is labelled with its gene accession number, isolate designation, host (questing tick, rodent-attached tick, and rodent), and geographic origin. The bootstrap values based on 1,000 replicates are displayed next to the branches. The tree is rooted using Cardiosporidium cionae as outgroup [1]. Wherever applicable, the number of identical sequences of a given isolate type is given. All clades marked by brackets display a highly significant bootstrap value (≥ 85). The evolutionary distance is shown in the units of the number of base substitutions per site
