Molecular phylogenetic analysis of RH5 haplotypes by Maximum Likelihood method. A neighbour-joining (NJ) tree depicting the relationship between different RH5 haplotypes observed among Nigerian P. falciparum populations and with other RH5 sequences including PAS-2, FCB-2, 7G8 and 3D reference strain RH5. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method. The analysis involved 78 nucleotide sequences. Numbers below the lines indicate percentage bootstrap values for 1000 replications. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA6 [15]. The RH5 sequence of Plasmodium reichenowi was used as an out-group
