TL;DR: In the absence of a specific routine diagnostic test for P. knowlesi malaria, patients who reside in or have traveled to Southeast Asia and who have received a "P. malariae" hyperparasitemia diagnosis by microscopy receive intensive management as appropriate for severe falciparum malaria.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.

Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach
TL;DR: A computationally feasible method for finding such maximum likelihood estimates is developed, and a computer program is available that allows the testing of hypotheses about the constancy of evolutionary rates by likelihood ratio tests.

Toward Defining the Course of Evolution: Minimum Change for a Specific Tree Topology
TL;DR: A method is presented that is asserted to provide all hypothetical ancestral character states that are consistent with describing the descent of the present-day character states in a minimum number of changes of state using a predetermined phylogenetic relationship among the taxa represented.

MEGA2 : Molecular evolutionary genetics analysis software
TL;DR: MEGA2 vastly extends the capabilities of MEGA version 1 by facilitating analyses of large datasets, enabling creation and analyses of groups of sequences, and expanding the repertoire of statistical methods for molecular evolutionary studies.
