From: Sporogony of four Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae), with report of in vitro ookinetes of Haemoproteus hirundinis: phylogenetic inference indicates patterns of haemosporidian parasite ookinete development

Fig. 1

Bayesian phylogenetic inference of cytb lineages (478 bp) of 33 Haemoproteus species. The tree is rooted with Leucocytozoon sp. sequence (lSISKIN2). Clades A and B contain species of subgenera Haemoproteus and Parahaemoproteus, respectively. Sub-clade b1 contains species with slow development and relatively large-sized ookinetes, which produces a long outgrowth during development and possess prominent vacuoles in the cytoplasm. Sub-clade b2 contains species with fast development and relatively small ookinetes, which do not produce outgrowths and usually do not possess prominent vacuoles in the cytoplasm. MalAvi lineage codes are provided, followed by parasite species names and GenBank accession numbers. Nodal support values indicate Bayesian posterior probabilities. Names of the parasites, for which sporogony was investigated in this study are given in bold. Stars indicate parasite species, for which development in vitro has been investigated. Other explanations are given in the text
