Fig. 4From: A Vavraia-like microsporidium as the cause of deadly infection in threatened and endangered Eurycea salamanders in the United StatesPhylogenetic analysis of the Vavraia-like microsporidium based on the near full-length SSU rRNA genes. a Phylogenetic tree reconstructed by the Bayesian inference (BI) method based on the large dataset (dataset 1 as described in Methods) to determine the phylogenetic position of the Vavraia-like microsporidium among various microsporidian taxonomic groups. b Phylogenetic tree reconstructed by BI and maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on a small dataset (dataset 2 as described in Methods) to fine-tune the phylogenetic position of the Vavraia-like microsporidium. Posterior probability values in BI analysis and bootstrap supporting values in ML analysis are indicated at the nodes. Solid circles at the nodes indicate 100% support by both analysesBack to article page
