Phylogenetic relationship of Plasmodium knowlesi from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, to other strains from Southeast Asia countries, inferred by using the neighbor-joining method. Isolates are identified by GenBank accession number and location; Plasmodium coatneyi is used as outgroup. Triangle indicates sequence of P. knowlesi isolated in this study (accession no. MK079654) that shares a similar clade with a Myanmar sequence (accession no. GU816246). Isolates from Peninsular Malaysia (
