Bayesian (a) and Maximum Likelihood (b) phylogeny of 29 mitochondrial cytochrome b lineages of Plasmodium species, seven lineages of Haemoproteus spp. and two lineages of Leucocytozoon spp. One lineage of Plasmodium falciparum is used as an outgroup. Codes of the lineages (according to MalAvi database, http://mbio-serv2.mbioekol.lu.se/Malavi), parasite species names and GenBank accession numbers are provided on the trees. Posterior probabilities of > 0.7 (a) and bootstrap values of > 70 (b) are indicated near the nodes. The branch lengths are drawn proportionally to the amount of change (scale bars are shown). Green rectangle indicates the clade of closely related Plasmodium relictum lineages, which were analysed in this study. The new lineage pPHCOL01 is given bold
