Figure 3From: Malarial parasite diversity in chimpanzees: the value of comparative approaches to ascertain the evolution of Plasmodium falciparum antigensTimetree of the divergence of malarial parasites. Divergence times were estimated with BEAST using the most conservative scenario based on the minimum divergence of Macaca and Papio using fossils (6-8 Mya) and a minimum of 20 Mya for the origin of lemur parasites. Times are shown in millions of years ago (Mya).Back to article page
