3.3. Phylogenetic analyses of Cystoisospora spp .

Phylogenetic analyses using NJ and ML methods with concatenated sequences produced topologically similar trees that supported the monophyletic clade of the genus Cystoisospora ( Fig. 3 ). The present sequence from Asian small-clawed otters was placed within the

Fig. 3. Mid-point rooting tree of Cystoisospora spp. inferred from concatenated alignment of two nucleotide sequences (18S and cox1). Nucleotide sequences of Cystoisospora spp. GenBank/DDBJ/EMBL accession numbers for 18S and cox1 are shown next to species names. Nodal support values (NJ/ML) greater than 60% are represented on ML branches. Scale bar represents 0.01 nucleotide substitutions per sites.
