Geographic origin of the genetic sequences generated during study of Plasmodium knowlesi parasite populations, Malaysia. The numbers in each circle refer to the number of sequences (macaque or human) obtained for the genes P. knowlesi type A small subunit ribosomal 18S RNA (numbers in white) and P. knowlesi cytochrome oxidase subunit I (numbers in yellow).
