Phylogenetic assessment of Plasmodium (Saurocytozoon) tupinambi comb. nov. (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) in golden tegu lizards: shedding light on a long-standing Haemosporida taxonomic puzzle

Phylogenetic assessment of Plasmodium (Saurocytozoon) tupinambi comb. nov. (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) in golden tegu lizards: shedding light on a long-standing Haemosporida taxonomic puzzle

Haemosporidians constitute a monophyletic group of vector-borne parasites that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including Neotropical lizards. The remarkable diversity of these host-parasite associations and inadequate research on certain parasite groups have resulted in controversial haemos...
