Figure 2From: The evolutionary host switches of Polychromophilus: a multi-gene phylogeny of the bat malaria genus suggests a second invasion of mammals by a haemosporidian parasiteThe hypothetical phylogeny of the genus Polychromophilus and the other Haemosporida. The hypothetical branches are marked in orange and based either on the conservation of the vertebrate host (hypothesis 1), the conservation of the dipteran vector (hypothesis 2), or based on previous molecular studies of the cytb gene (hypothesis 3).Back to article page
