3.3. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS gene in E. bieneusi

A phylogenetic tree was constructed by comparing and analyzing the ITS gene sequence with that of the reference E. bieneusi ( Fig. 2 ). The genotypes of E. bieneusi detected in plateau zokor were significantly different from those of other known E. bieneusi genotypes, forming a separate group.

Fig. 2. Phylogenetic relationships of E. bieneusi genotypes identified in the present study and other known genotypes deposited on GenBank was inferred by a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences using the Tamura 3-parameter model with 500 replicates. The Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (GenBank: KR021167.1) was used as the outgroup. The blue triangle and squares indicate the novel genotypes identified in this study, respectively.
