Schematic representation of the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the 18S rRNA gene sequences of the suborder Adeleorina, focused on a well-defined clade of mammal-infecting Hepatozoon spp. The final length of the alignment was 2139 bp and the tree was constructed using the evolution model GTR+F+R4. Two sequences of Hammondia hammondi and one sequence of Toxoplasma gondii used as an outgroup are not displayed. The cluster of clades containing sequences of H. martis, H. silvestris, H. felis and H. ursi is shown in detail. Sequences from this study are marked in red. The scale bars indicate the number of nucleotide substitutions per site. The bootstrap values (SH-aLRT/UFB) above the 80/95 threshold are displayed. Sequences are labelled by accession number, host and country of origin (if available)
