Plasmodium billbrayi is a parasite of the genus Plasmodium subgenus Laverania.
P. billbrayi is phylogenetically very close to Plasmodium gaboni,[1] with both sharing a recent common ancestor.[2] The parasite is named in honour of the distinguished malariologist “Bill” Robert Stow Bray (1923–2008).[2]
