A phylogenetic analysis of filarial nematodes: comparison with the phylogeny of Wolbachia endosymbionts.

abstract：:The group of haemosporidian parasites is of general interest to basic and applied science, since several species infect mammals, leading to malaria and associated disease symptoms. Although the great majority of haemosporidian parasites appear in bird hosts, as in the case of Leucocytozoon buteonis, there is little ge...
