Figure 1.

Evolutionary relationships of the Leontocebus lagonotus isolate described in this study (bolded and highlighted in red) compared to representative members of the Plasmodium genus. The tree is based on the maximum-likelihood phylogeny of the partial small subunit ribosomal RNA gene. The phylogenetic analysis was performed using the Tamura 3-parameter substitution model implemented in MEGA X. Bootstrap percentages > 70% (1000 resamplings) are indicated at the nodes. GenBank accession numbers are indicated for each strain. The scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
