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. 4

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree calculated from Sarcocystis (S.) spp. using partial 18S ribosomal rRNA sequences. The outgroup (light grey square) consists of several species of Coccidia. 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 given only for species infecting carnivores from southern Africa, i.e. white-tailed mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda), printed in bold, or if the name was part of the provisional Sarcocystis species name. 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 0.1 substitutions per site. The ID values for the hyenas from this study correspond to the IDs of individual animals listed in Additional file 1: Table S1
