Orthologs in the predicated proteome of Cyclospora cayetanensis. a In addition to alveolates, a few of the orthologs of C. cayetanensis are from other organisms, probably resulted from lateral gene transfers. b Functional protein domains shared by apicomplexan parasites Cryptosporidium parvum, Plasmodium falciparum, Toxoplasma gondii, Eimeria tenella and C. cayetanensis. c Phylogenetic relationship of C. cayetanensis and other common apicomplexan parasites based on a neighbor-joining analysis of concatenated protein sequences from 100 orthologs; a concatenated sequence from the free-living photosynthetic chromerid, Chromera velia was used to root the tree. The maximum composite likelihood method was used in the calculation of genetic distances. Numbers on branches are percent bootstrap values >50 from 1,000 replications. d Comparison of major protein families potentially involved in host cell invasion among common apicomplexan parasites. Taxa name abbreviations: Cryptosporidium parvum (Cpar); Plasmodium falciparum (Pfal); Babesia bovis (Bbov); Toxoplasma gondii (Tgon); Eimeria tenella (Eten); Cyclospora cayetanensis (Ccay)
