Figure 4

Pairwise mismatch distribution of Plasmodium knowlesi parasite populations, Malaysia. A) Type A small subunit ribosomal 18S RNA; B) cytochrome oxidase subunit I. Red dotted lines represent the observed frequencies of the pairwise differences among mitochondrial DNA sequences; blue lines represent the expected curve for a population that has undergone a demographic expansion.
