Phylogenetic tree constructed by maximum likelihood method on nucleotide sequences of 18S rRNA gene (fragment of 515 nt) of piroplasmid clade VI according to Schnittger et al. [27]. Details for sequences generated in the present study (host species and country of sample origin) are provided in Table 2. Proportion from 1000 replicates of bootsrap values only above 75% are displayed. Theileria parva sequences were used as the outgroup
