Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree derived from alignments of ITS1 and ITS2. The best-fit nucleotide substitution model for the sequence dataset, based on the corrected Akaike (AICc) and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC). Hierarchical likelihood ratio tests ascertained that the Jukes-Cantor substitution model with gamma-distributed rate differences among sites was the optimal evolutionary model for phylogenetic inference. Fungal sequences collected from samples and reference sequences are labeled as in Fig. 2. Green font indicates species that have been isolated from arthropod pathogens, but have occasionally been associated with human infections in immunocompromised patients [42]. Bootstrap support values are indicated as in Fig. 2. Specimen type: [B] = blood; [L] = BAL bronchoalveolar lavage, [S] sputum
