Bayesian inference tree of Plasmodium 18S rDNA sequences. Posterior probabilities and maximum likelihood bootstrap values are indicated at most nodes. The scale bar indicates the expected mean number of substitutions per site according to the model of sequence evolution applied. Clades with variants expressed in the vertebrate hosts are labelled with “A”, and clades with sporozoite specific sequences with “S”. As outgroup a sequence of Leucocytozoon sp. (MalAvi lineage SYCON05; AH0932L_c07) was included
