Figure Legend:
DNA sequences of a 144 base-pair region of the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene of MO1 compared with those of other piroplasms and of Toxoplasma gondii.None of the unidentified bases occurred at phylogenetically informative positions, and most were within highly conserved areas. A equals adenine; C equals cytosine; G equals guanine; N equals base that could not be definitively identified; T equals thymine; . equals gap in the sequence alignment.

Phylogenetic analysis.[25]Toxoplasma gondiinBabesia odocoileiB. canis[4-6][6]Maximum parsimony analysis was done in PAUP (phylogenetic analysis using parsimony) version by bootstrap using the branch and bound search method; was specified as an outgroup. Branch lengths are as indicated, and the percentages of bootstrap replicates ( = 100) associated with each group are shown in parentheses. (deer parasite) and (canine parasite) have not been shown to infect humans. The piroplasms WA1 and CA1 were isolated from persons who acquired babesiosis in Washington and California, respectively.
