Fig. 5From: Endemic, exotic and novel apicomplexan parasites detected during a national study of ticks from companion animals in AustraliaBayesian phylogenetic tree of a 629 bp alignment of 18S sequences of named Sarcocystidae species, with fewer Sarcocystis spp. included and the novel cf. Sarcocystidae sp. sequence derived from this study. 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 Eimeria necatrix (KT184349) (not shown). Scale-bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions per siteBack to article page
