Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Alveolata | Apicomplexa | Aconoidasida | Haemosporida | Plasmodiidae | Plasmodium | Plasmodium (Laverania) Comment: The chimpanzee malaria parasite P. reichenowi is phylogenetically closest to the human parasite P. falciparum. Both parasites differ in vertebrate and invertebrate host specificity, but morphologically and at the gene/protein level, they are quite similar.
