Fig. 5

Evolution of the genes encoding the merozoite surface protein 1 and its paralog. A synteny map of the msp1 region is depicted. Notice that an ortholog of the msp1 paralog originally described in P. vivax is found in the genomes of avian parasites. A Bayesian phylogeny on orthologous genes obtained using MrBayes v3.1.2 is provided. The branches with the two msp1 allelic forms in P. falciparum are colored in red. All the lineages leading to extant human malarias are indicated in red
