Fig. 1

Median-Joining DNA haplotype network of partial (474 bp) CytB sequences of avian Plasmodium lineages belonging to clade pTUR1 (P. vaughani/P. unalis clade) of the subgenus Novyella. The upper image shows the host distribution and the lower image the geographic distribution. Asterisks mark haplotypes detected in the present study. Insert: Each circle represents a unique haplotype/lineage. The frequency of each lineage is indicated for all haplotypes with more than one record and corresponds to the size of circles. Bars on branches indicate the number of substitutions between two haplotypes. Small white circles represent median vectors, which are hypothetical (often ancestral or unsampled) sequences required to connect existing haplotypes with maximum parsimony. Groups of similar haplotypes potentially belonging to the same parasite species are framed in dotted lines and marked with Roman numbers in bold type
