Temporal structure of Plasmodium falciparum diversity, as inferred from microsatellite typing of 55 isolates from Acre, Brazil. Each individual parasite is represented by a bar, which is partitioned into 3 segments (black, white and hatched) that represent the membership (or ancestry) fraction of each individual in each of the 3 populations inferred by the analysis. Parasites are ordered according to their dates of collection. Note that identical or nearly identical isolates (as inferred by identical or similar membership fractions) were collected at rather different time-points.
