Fig. 3.

Median-joining network of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene lineages (n = 81, 496 bp fragment) of haemosporidian parasites Haemoproteus (refers to the subgenera H. (Haemoproteus) and H. (Parahaemoproteus) combined), Leucocytozoon and Plasmodium infecting European turtle doves Streptopelia turtur. Circles represent lineages, and the circle sizes are proportional to the lineage frequencies in the sample set. Lineage names are noted at the associated circles. One hatch mark represents one mutation. Positive samples of individual birds from the western (n = 10 sequences) and the central/eastern flyway (n = 71 sequences) are represented by different colours
