Phylogenetic tree of Plasmodium spp causing malaria in different species adapted from Hall.72 Branches are not to scale but represent how closely related each species is with each other. The shorter the branch, the closer the genome of each Plasmodium spp. Each plasmodia species is associated with its natural vertebrate host and the number of assembled whole-genome sequences that are publically available, either in public databases or through genome centres is also labelled as described by Hall.
