Table 2 Percent similarities (upper-right diagonal half) and actual numbers of mismatches (lower-left diagonal half) in comparisons of 18S rRNA gene sequences of reference Babesia spp. (bold) and the isolates identified in this study (plain)

From: Development of a pan-Babesia FRET-qPCR and a survey of livestock from five Caribbean islands

  1. aThe Babesia spp. in bold are recognized species from GenBank with Gene Accession numbers: KJ939326 for B. vogeli, KM046917 for B. bigemina, KJ549665 for B. caballi, AB935165 for B. rossi, KF928959 for B. bovis, KJ598885 for B. sp., JX962780 for B. gibsoni
  2. bThe Babesia spp. in plain font are those we found on the Caribbean Islands. Their Gene Accession numbers are KP221643 for B. vogeli, KP221645 for B. bigemina, KP221648 for B. caballi, KP221649 for B. rossi, KP221650 for B. bovis, KP221655 for B. sp., and KP221646 for B. gibsoni. The percent similarities between Babesia spp. above 98.65 % are shown in red
