Phylogenetic analysis of Karyolysus paradoxa (Dias, 1954) based on 18S rDNA sequences. Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis showing the phylogenetic relationships for two Karyolyus paradoxa isolates from the current study represented in bold, 17 Karyolysus and Hepatozoon species (representing the Karyolysus clade in blue), five mammal-infecting Hepatozoon species (representing the ‘intraleucocytic’ Hepatozoon clade in purple), eight herpatofaunal-infecting Hepatozoon species (representing the ‘intraerythrocytic’ Hepatozoon clade in green), five Hemolivia species (representing the Hemolivia clade in orange), five Haemogregarina species (representing the Haemogregarinidae clade in yellow), a Babesiosoma and Dactylosoma species (representing the Dactylosomatidae clade in pink) and two Adelina and one Klossia species (used as the outgroup in grey). All comparative sequences were downloaded from the GenBank database. Tree topologies for both the BI and ML trees were identical; the nodal support values (BI/ML) are represented on the BI tree
