Cytochrome b sequences were incorporated into SplitsTree v4.14 to calculate unrooted phylogenetic networks using a neighbour-net method with 1000 bootstrap replicates. a Generalist TURDUS2 lineage of H. minutus is closely related to lineage COLL2 of H. pallidus which also has a wide host spectrum and geographical distribution, and is only distantly related to the lineage PSIKRA01 from the ring-necked parakeet (P. krameri). b H. minutus (lineages TURDUS2, TUPHI01 and TUCHR01) cluster with lineages from thrushes (Turdidae; clade A) and are only distantly related to known parrot (Psittaciformes) lineages (clade B) from the brown-throated parakeet (Eupistaula pertinax; ARAPER01) and green-winged macaw (Ara chloropterus; ARCHL01). Lineages reported from thrushes are shown in bold. Cytochrome b sequences were derived from MalAvi and GenBank database and were trimmed for comparison to 351 (a) and 479 nucleotides (b), respectively. The following sequences were used: AFTRU06 (EU810734); ALPOL01 (AF465588); ARAPER01 (DQ241553); ARCHL01 (KY783725); ASPI01 (EF153652); CATUST02 (DQ490061); COLL2 (FJ355915); COLL3 (DQ067581); HIICT1 (JX026904); ICTAY02 (DQ241546); LULU1 (DQ060767); PARUS1 (AF254977); PFC1 (DQ63577); PHSIB1 (AF495565); PSIKRA01 (EF380207); ROBIN1 (AY393807); SFC1 (DQ060770); SIAMEX01 (AF465562); TERUF01 (EU819755); TUCAR01 (EF380166); TUCHR01 (EU676190); TUMIG06 (GQ141584); TUPHI01 (GU85191); TURDUS2 (DQ630013); WW2 (AY831755); ZOOLUN01 (AY714150)
