Bayesian phylogeny of 27 mitochondrial cytochrome b Plasmodium spp./lineages found in mosquitoes and birds, along with two Haemoproteus spp. A Leucocytozoon spp. was used as the out-group. Numbers at each node represent the Bayesian posterior probabilities. Lineage names in bold (total of 11) were obtained from China Creek Park. Lineages followed by a bird symbol indicates that it was also detected in birds trapped at China Creek Park. All lineages used for this analysis are delineated by the parasite name followed by the Genbank accession number, and for Plasmodium spp. the subgenus is also provided in parenthesis
