Overview of PCR fragments and primer names used to assess rDNA sequences of Besnoitia darlingi-like parasites (named “Besnoitia-acinonyx” for this study) and related organisms in faeces of a Namibian cheetah. Green-coloured amplicons revealed sequences closely related to B. darlingi-like parasites (Table 1); yellow-coloured amplicons revealed sequences related to additional coccidia (Table 1). Details on primer sequences are given in Additional file 1: Table S1. ITS1 Internal transcribed spacer-1
