Phylogeny of Haemosporidia inferred from cytochrome b amino acid sequences. Value above branches are Bayesian posterior probabilities [16] (value less then 0.5 not shown), below are bootstrap percentage obtained by maximum likelihood [14] (left of the slash, values under 50% not shown). In red are the previously unpublished bat sequences. See Tables 1 and 2 for sampling details. H. = Haemoproteus, L. = Leucocytozoon and P. = Plasmodium.
