Bayesian phylogenetic tree of a 1720 bp alignment of 18S sequences of named piroplasm species and novel piroplasm sequences derived from this study, with unnamed sequences with ≥ 95% similarity to novel species included. The tree was built using the following parameters: GTR+G+I model; 1,100,000 MCMC length; ‘burn-in’ length of 10,000; subsampling frequency of 200. The tree was rooted with the outgroup sequence Plasmodium falciparum (JQ627152) (not shown). Scale-bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per site
