<p>Relation of parasites lineages already related in others studies.</p

The Venn diagram above shows the distribution of the parasite lineages among the three areas, with the total number of lineages indicated for each of the three areas in parentheses, and the number of widespread lineages indicated within each of the sections of the diagram in parentheses.

<p>It is interesting that the mixed habitat area (CSP) has the fewest lineages uniquely found there.</p

Phylogram of <i>Plasmodium</i> spp. and <i>Haemoproteus</i> spp. lineages in community birds.

<p>Phylogenetic relationships of the 21 haemosporidian parasite lineages found in three different habitats, based on cyt b sequences. Numbers located on the top of the branches indicate ML bootstrap support (100 replications, only values above 50% are shown). The presence of each parasite lineage in the three areas studied is indicated by: transition area (•), urban area (▴) and natural area (▪).</p

Parasites lineages richness of estimated by Chao1 (S) in the urban area (UA), natural cerrado (LSP) and transition areas (CSP) of the Tocantins region.

<p>SD - Standard Deviation, CI: Confidence interval. S% - Percentage of total richness estimated for each area.</p

Prevalence (%) of <i>Plasmodium</i>/<i>Haemoproteus</i> in the three different areas studied by PCR and microscopy methods.

Number of host species as a function of the number of each type of parasite lineage recovered from three areas studied in Tocantins-Brazil.

<p><i>Plasmodium</i> lineages are indicated by no fill symbols and <i>Haemoproteus</i> lineages are indicated by fill symbols. We can observer that one <i>Haemoproteus</i> lineage was presented in 21specimens from 17 different bird species. Genus is not a significant effect in an analysis of covariance (F1,18 = 2.2, P = 0.15). The equation for the line is number of hosts = −0.007 (±0.27 se) +0.77 (±0.04 se) number of infections (F1,19 = 377, P<0.0001, R² = 0.96).</p
