From: Discovery of a new Theileria sp. closely related to Theileria annulata in cattle from Sri Lanka
18S rRNA phylogeny. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed using 37 short 18S rRNA gene sequences (1,130 bp) from Sri Lanka and the T. annulata and T. lestoquardi sequences from GenBank. P and N series numbers provided with the Sri Lankan sequences indicate animal IDs from Polonnaruwa and Nuwara Eliya, respectively. The Sri Lankan sequences clustered together and formed a sister clade to the common ancestor of the T. lestoquardi and T. annulata sequences from other countries.
