Fig. 3. Visual representation showing similar Neighbour-Joining phylogenetic tree topologies obtained for both the (a) 18s rDNA and (b) internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS1) sequences obtained in the study. (a) Neighbour-Joining phylogenetic tree showing the relationship of the obtained parasite 18S rDNA sequence variants (n = 6) from Rhabdomys pumilio to related Babesia species. The optimal tree is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Tamura 3-parameter method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. The rate variation among sites was modeled with a gamma distribution (shape parameter = 5). All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated (complete deletion option). Prorocentrum micans, Sarcocystis muris, and Toxoplasma gondii were used as outgroups. There were a total of 1474 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X. (b) The evolutionary history based on the ITS1 region was inferred using the Neighbour-Joining method. The optimal tree is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Tamura 3-parameter method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated (complete deletion option). There was a total of 267 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X.
