Bayesian phylogenetic analysis and comparison of 11 Plasmodium spp. isolates (bold) from Aedes notoscriptus (
), Culex pervigilans (
), and previously published Plasmodium spp. sequences present in the GenBank and/or MalAvi database. Avian icons represent previous reports of Plasmodium lineages identified in New Zealand avifauna, including kiwi (
), raptor species (
), penguins (
), and a variety of Passeriformes (
). Plasmodium falciparum used as an outgroup. Numbers above or below branch nodes indicate bootstrap support based on 1000 replicates. Names of the lineages (when available) and GenBank accession numbers of the sequences are given after the species names of the parasites. The branch lengths are drawn proportionally to the amount of changes (scale bar is shown)
