Genetic relationship among 6 Cryptosporidium ubiquitum subtype families (XIIa–XIIf) in animals as indicated by a neighbor-joining analysis of the partial gp60 gene. The XIIa subtype family contains all specimens from domestic and wild ruminants, whereas the remaining subtype families contain all specimens from rodents and other wildlife. Within the XIIa subtype family, 1, 2, and 3 denote subtypes 1, 2, and 3, which differ from each other by a few nucleotides. Bootstrap values are indicated along
