The Monophyly of <i>Nycteria</i> and <i>Polychromophilus</i> Parasites: A Missing Piece in the Evolution of Malaria and Other Haemosporida

2026-04-10

Abstract excerpt

Haemosporida is a diverse order of vector-borne apicomplexan parasites infecting terrestrial vertebrates worldwide, including humans, but the evolutionary relationships among its genera remain unresolved. The phylogenetic placement of two bat-restricted genera, Nycteria and Polychromophilus , both of which lack erythrocytic schizogony, has varied across studies depending on taxon sampling and marker choice. To a...
