Fig. 1From: Molecular identification of badger-associated Babesia sp. DNA in dogs: updated phylogeny of piroplasms infecting CaniformiaMaximum Likelihood tree of piroplasm DNA sequences reported from carnivores, shown according to their families. Sequences from this study are highlighted with red color. Piroplasm categories are named after [1] (except for Theileria equi, Cytauxzoon spp. and Theileria spp. united in one group). For Hyaenidae, the sequence KF270649 had a short coverage and therefore is not included (but in a sequence comparison it aligned with B. lengau). Vertical red columns mark adjacent families of Caniformia. The scale-bar indicates the number of substitutions per siteBack to article page
