Phylogeny of the coccidian parasite family Eimeriidae based on the 18S rRNA gene (alignment length of 3084 nucleotides). The coccidium from this study – denoted toutouwai axtoxoplasma sp. - is shown in red and has a ‘+’ after the name. The avian clade (representative sequences only) is shown in the inset and are marked with a bird silhouette. Black circles on nodes show bootstrap support values of more than 90%. Branches are scaled according to the number of nucleotide substitutions per site, shown in the scale bar. The tree is midpoint rooted for purposes of clarity only
