Sequence diversities (θs), dS, dN in P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. chabaudi sera genes. The amount of nucleotide diversity as expressed by the standardized number of polymorphic sites per site (θs) were calculated using DnaSP v5.10.01 [61]. The numbers of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (dS) and of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site (dN) were calculated using MEGA X [60]. As some strains of Pv-sera7 contain stop codons in the predicted open reading frame, sequences of Pv-sera7 were omitted from analysis. The asterisk denotes significant difference between dS and dN (P < 0.01)
