Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree generated from Babesia rDNA sequences from GenBank and from our study in Japan, November 2007–February 2008 and November 2008–February 2009. Bootstrap support (1,000 repetitions) is indicated at the nodes. The trees are based on the partial (1,041 bp) Babesia 18SrRNA gene (A) and the partial (900 bp) β-tubulin gene (B). Sequences determined in this study are in bold font. Scale bar indicates the inferred number of substitutions per site. Lineages are indicated.
