Fig. 9. Maximum likelihood topology from phylogenetic analysis of the SSU rDNA of the main clades of apicomplexans and the basal Chrompodellids, using the dinoflagellates as an outgroup. Numbers at the nodes denote bootstrap support values (1000 replications) with the scale shown at the bottom of the tree. The sequence generated in this study is shown in bold and groups together with a parasite known to infect oysters in New Zealand. This novel clade does not show any phylogenetic affinity to the known clades of apicomplexans infecting marine and terrestrial animals and is placed at the base of the tree next to the Chrompodellids.
