摘要

•Plasmodium lineages found in lemurs are a diverse monophyletic group.•Plasmodium in lemurs shares a common ancestor with primate parasites from Africa.•The combination of Apicoplast loci with the mtDNA yields robust phylogenies.•There could be co-speciation between Plasmodium parasites and their lemur hosts.•The Plasmodium falciparum clade may have originated with Homininae.
