    Parasitology 134:483-90. 2007
    ..Samples of the subgenus Giovannolaia did not form a monophyletic group. Thus, the characters used by parasitologists for over a century to define subgenera of Plasmodium vary in their phylogenetic significance...

    Mol Phylogenet Evol 47:261-73. 2008
    ..The Plasmodium of birds and squamate reptiles all fall within a single clade, with evidence for repeated switching between birds and squamate hosts...
