Comparative Phylogenetic tree of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum. Phylogenetic tree indicating the kinases shared and unique to each of the two species, P. falciparum (red branches), P. vivax (black branches). Red arrow indicates the kinases PVP01_0118800 and PF3D7_0610600 (CDPK2) which do not have an equivalent kinase in the other species. Blue arrow indicates PVP01_0114800, the only member of the FIKK family that P. vivax encodes. See Fig. 1 legend for details regarding the assembly and construction of the phylogenetic tree. Typical protein kinase families were annotated using Adobe illustrator along with the Aurora kinase family (ARK) and the Apicomplexan-specific kinase family FIKK. Orphan, or ‘other’ kinases are largely unassigned to families (white background). Bootstraps values above 50 are represented as circles on the associated branches, larger circles indicate higher bootstrap values, note these values relate to the full tree illustrated in Fig. 2
