Diversity, Loss, and Gain of Malaria Parasites in a Globally Invasive Bird (original) (raw)
Figure 4
Number of host species in America (A) and Europe (B) for Plasmodium spp. lineages infecting (filled bars) and not infecting house sparrows (grey bars).
Arrows indicate mean values. The data were extracted from the MalAvi database [15]. Logistic regression (estimate ± SE, P) on the likelihood of observing lineages in house sparrows; number of hosts (0.61±0.19, P = 0.001), America or Europe (−2.17±1.00, P = 0.030) and their interaction term (0.39±0.19, P = 0.043).
