Phylognetic analysis of Trypanosoma haplotypes of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA gene identified in present study, compared sequences from the literature. The analysis used the GTR + I + G model of substitution evolution. Numbers listed at the nodes indicate the percent support for the node from 1000 bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes if found in more than 70% of 1000 bootstrap trees. Haplotypes identified in this study are marked in navy blue. Haplotypes H1 and H2 belonged together with sequences of T. melophagium (FN666409) and T. trinaperronei (MN752212) to the T. theileri phylogenetic lineage II, while the haplotype H3 and hapotype of T. cervi (KJ195884) to the T. theileri lineage I.
