Phylogenetic tree based on 582 bp of the 18S rRNA gene of H. felis in cats from Maio Island and a selection of representative H. felis, H. americanum, H. canis, H. silvestris, H. martis and Hepatozoon spp. sequences from felids retrieved from GenBank. Hepatozoon catesbianeae was used as the outgroup. Molecular evolutionary genetic analysis was performed with MEGA7 using the NJ method. Distances were computed using the Kimura 2-parameter model. Bootstrap values > 70% are shown. Host, country and GenBank accession number are shown for all sequences; a diamond indicates the representative H. felis sequence of cats from Maio Island
