From: Genetic diversity of vector-borne pathogens in spotted and brown hyenas from Namibia and Tanzania relates to ecological conditions rather than host taxonomy

Fig. 1

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree calculated from Hepatozoon (H.) spp. 18S ribosomal rRNA sequences. Spotted hyenas from Namibia (SHNA) and Tanzania (SHTZ) are highlighted in red and orange, respectively, while brown hyenas from Namibia (BHNA) are coloured in blue. The host species name is abbreviated for dogs (Canis lupus familiaris = C. familiaris) and domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus = F. catus) while the host species are provided with the complete name: leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), brown dog tick (Rhipicaphalus sanguineus), caracal (Caracal caracal), lion (Panthera leo leo), tiger (Panthera tigris), jaguar (Panthera onca). Node support values represent the results of the Shimodaira–Hasegawa approximate likelihood ratio tests before and of ultrafast bootstrapping behind the slash. The scale bar represents 0.04 substitutions per site. The country from which the samples originate are indicated using the ISO 3266-2 two letter code: BR: Brazil; ES: Spain; IL: Israel; IN: India; IT: Italy; TH: Thailand. The ID values for the hyenas from this study correspond to the IDs of individual animals listed in Additional file 1: Table S1
