3.3. Phylogenetic relationship of E. bieneusi

Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS sequences of all E. bieneusi genotypes detected here and reference genotypes published previously shows that genotypes D, SC02, and SCB-II were clustered into group 1. Genotype BEB6 was clustered into group 2 and the remaining four genotypes (CHB1, MJ5, SCB-I, and SCB-III) belonged to group 10 ( Fig. 2 ).

Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes identified in the present study are indicated in bold-type, and genotypes PtEbIX (DQ85585) and CD8 (KJ668735) from dogs were used as outgroups.
