A Plasmodium cartoon phylogeny. The Plasmodium species that routinely cause malaria in humans are highly evolutionarily diverse, and only P. falciparum and P. vivax are shown here. The tree was generated using mitochondrial fragments of cytochrome B and cytochrome C oxidase subunit I coding regions, using maximum likelihood methods, and is adapted from Refs. 6 and 44.
