  1. Average lengths are derived from those exhibited by T. vaginalis TEs. T. vaginalis and T. stableri genomes were generated by long-read sequencing; all others are short-read assemblies.
  2. Icons show host species and bracket endpoints indicate inferred sister species on the phylogenetic tree in Supplementary Fig. 5.
  3. ND not determined.
  4. aT. tenax has been detected in other mammals and in birds.
  5. bP. hominis has been detected in other mammals.
