  1. Babesia spp were identified by sequence allignment of amplification products from PCR protocols I and II (products I and II respectively).
  2. * sequence identical between G1, G3 and G27 (reference sequence: AY046577)
  3. ** sequence identical between G1, G3, G7, G10, KR5 (reference sequences: AY046575, AY046576, AY046577)
  4. *** reference sequence: AY046576
  5. **** amplicons only identifiable to genus level due to poor sequencing data
