Phylogenetic relationships of E. bieneusi genotypes identified in the present study and other known genotypes deposited on GenBank was inferred by a neighboring-joining phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences using the Kimura-2-parameter model and with 1000 replicates. Each sequence is identified by its accession number, host origin, and genotype designation. The E. bieneusi genotype CSK2 (GenBank: KY706128) from the white kangaroo was used as the outgroup. The black circles and squares indicate the known and novel genotypes identified in this study, respectively
