The nuclear 18S ribosomal DNAs of avian haemosporidian parasites

Abstract Background Plasmodium species feature only four to eight nuclear ribosomal units on different chromosomes, which are assumed to evolve independently according to a birth-and-death model, in which new variants originate by duplication and others are deleted throughout time. Moreover, distinc...
