Fig. 1 in Prevalence, distribution, and diversity of cryptic piroplasm infections in raccoons from selected areas of the United States and Canada

Fig. 1. Phylogenetic analysis of piroplasms based on the 18S rRNA sequences. The purple clade represents the Babesia sensu stricto species in raccoons in Japan and representatives from the United States from our sampling, the blue clade is Babesia lotori in raccoons in the United States, the orange clade represents a separate Babesia sensu stricto species in Japan, the red clade represents our western Babesia sp. in raccoons, and the green clade is the Babesia microti-like sp. in raccoons. Bolded samples are new sequences from this study. Additional geographic data and Genbank accession numbers for each sample is provided in Supplemental Table 1.
