Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree calculated from Acanthocheilonema spp. ITS-2 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 other host species are provided with the complete name: grey seal Halichoerus grypus and harbour seal Phoca vitulina. The sequences labelled as A. reconditium-like are assigned to the species Acanthocheilonema sp. RAZI Marand and Acanthocheiloneme sp. PAMAR-2010 in GenBank. 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: BZ, Brazil; ES, Spain; IN, India; IR, Iran; NL, Netherlands; TW, Taiwan; US, United States of America. The “?” indicates that the country of origin was not deposited in GenBank and the given value represents the origin of the authors. The ID values for the hyenas from this study correspond to the IDs of individual animals listed in Table S1.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 (Rhipicephalus 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 3166-2 two letter code. The ID values for the hyenas from this study correspond to the IDs of individual animals listed in Additional file 1: Table S1
