Phylogenetic tree based on consensus sequences of SSU rRNA showing the relationship between the <i>Plasmodium</i> species in Sabah that were found in monkey, <i>An</i>. <i>balabacensis</i> and human, constructed using neighbor joining method.

<p>The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method and all positions containing alignment gaps were eliminated only in the pairwise sequence comparisons. The tree was out grouped with <i>Theileria</i> spp.</p

Diversity of simian <i>Plasmodium</i> species in infected <i>An</i>. <i>balabacensis</i> detected using PCR method.

Consensus sequences of SSU rRNA of <i>P</i>. <i>knowlesi</i> isolated from long-tailed macaque, human and <i>An</i>. <i>balabacensis</i> in Sabah.

<p>The three variable nucleotides in the consensus sequences between the <i>P</i>. <i>knowlesi</i> isolates are shown within the red rectangles.</p

Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree comparing the SSU rRNA gene sequences in current study (marked with circle) and with known <i>Plasmodium</i> SSU rRNA sequences from the GeneBank data base.

<p>The bar below the tree represents distance scale. The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method and all positions containing alignment gaps and missing data were eliminated only in the pairwise sequence comparisons. The tree was replicated with 1000 bootstraps and only values>50% are showed in the tree. The tree was out grouped with <i>Theileria</i> spp. (AF162432).</p
