![A neighbor-joining tree of 18S small subunit rRNA amplicon sequences obtained from sheep at sites A and B in northeastern Scotland, UK. Blue shading indicates sequences obtained in this study. Previously published Babesia and Theileria sequences include B. venatorum (GenBank accession no. AY046575), B. divergens (AY046576), B. capreoli (AY726009), B. odocoilei (AY046577), B. major (EU622907), Theileria parva (L02366), and T. annulata (M64243).

In addition, a Sarcocystis tenella (LC214879) isolate was included because of the presence of a similar parasite identified in the sheep population. A Bos taurus 18S small subunit rRNA sequence (RN18S1) was used to root the tree.
