A maximum likelihood phylogram based on 463-bp-long cox1 gene fragments of Babesia spp. isolates from dogs (black triangle) of this study including other relevant piroplasmid species deposited in GenBank. The GenBank accession number, host and country of origin are included for each sequence. Only bootstrap values > 70% are indicated. The scale-bar represents the evolutionary distance in the units of the number of nucleotide substitutions per site
