  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}here have been reported cases of host- switching in avian and lizard species of {P}lasmodium ({A}picomplexa, {H}aemosporidia), as well as in those infecting different primate species. {H}owever, no evidence has previously been found for host-swapping between wild birds and mammals. {M}ethods: {T}his paper presents the results of the sampling of blood parasites of wild-captured bats from {M}adagascar and {C}ambodia. {T}he presence of {H}aemosporidia infection in these animals is confirmed and cytochrome b gene sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic analysis. {R}esults: {R}esults reveal at least three different and independent {H}aemosporidia evolutionary histories in three different bat lineages from {M}adagascar and {C}ambodia. {C}onclusion: {P}hylogenetic analysis strongly suggests multiple host-switching of {H}aemosporidia parasites in bats with those from avian and primate hosts.},
