Phylogenetic comparison of Babesia conradae isolates from Oklahoma to other piroplasms. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree constructed using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean analysis of 18S rRNA gene sequences extracted from GenBank. Clustering of study samples within a distinct subclade (red lines) illustrates the homology of these Oklahoma strains to the original (California) B. conradae strains (GenBank: MK256976 and AF158702) and highlights the distinct separation of study samples from other Babesia spp. Bootstrap values are based on 1000 replicates and only bootstraps < 50% are indicated
