Abstract
SUMMARYPartial mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase subunit I (mt COI) sequences were generated from:Toxoplasma gondii(strains CTG, GTI, MAS, ME49, PTG, TgCatBr5, TgCat, Br64, TgCgCal, TgToucan);Neospora caninum(Strain NC1);Hammondia hammondi(Strain H.H–20);H. heydorni; H. cf.triffittae; Cystoisospora felis; C. suis; C. canis; C. rivolta; C. cf.ohioensis; Caryospora bigenetica; Sarcocystis rileyi; andS. neurona. Nuclear 18S rDNA sequences were generated forH. heydorni, H. hammondi, C. suis, C. canis, C. felis, C. rivolta, C. cf.ohioensis, S. neurona, andS. rileyi. Aligned, concatenated 18S rDNA and COI sequences were Bayesian analysed using partitioned nucleotide substitution models [HKY + I + G for 18S; GTR + I + G codon (code = metmt) for COI]. Phylogenetic hypotheses supported a monophyletic Sarcocystidae and its subfamilie with two major clades within the Toxoplasmatinae: (1) a monophyletic clade ofCystoisosporaspp. withNephroisospora eptesici; and (2) a clade ofToxoplasma, NeosporaandHammondia. Within the latter,Hammondiawas shown to be paraphyletic;H. heydorniandH. triffittaewere monophyletic withN. caninum[canine definitive hosts (DHs)], whereasH. hammondiwas monophyletic withT. gondii(feline DHs). A new genus is erected to resolve the paraphyly of the genusHammondiaconfirmed using mt COI and combined 18S/COI sequence datasets.
