Elaeis Egypt. "Elaeis guineensis" is now extensively cultivated in tropical countries outside Africa, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia which together produce most of the world supply. Palm oil plantations are under increasing scrutiny for social and environmental harm, particularly because rainforests with high biodiversity are destroyed, greenhouse gas output is increased, and because people are displaced by unscrupulous palm-oil enterprises and traditional livelihoods are negatively impacted. Especially in Indonesia, there is also growing pressure for palm oil producers to prove that they are not harming rare animals in the cultivation process. Elaeis Elaeis () is a genus of palms containing two species,
Phytomonas more economically significant crops, namely coconut ("Cocos nucifera") and oil palm ("Elaeis guineensis"). Finally, in 1982, Dollet successfully cultivated trypanosomatids "in vitro", which allowed for the isolation of "Phytomonas" in 24 different plant families from across the globe. While there has been recent genetic work done on "Phytomonas" species, genome level analysis is limited compared to the genome data available for disease causing trypanosomatids in animals and humans, especially "Trypanosoma cruzi", "Trypanosoma brucei", and "Leishmania major". In 2015, "Phytomonas nordicus" was found to be a part of the generally heteroxenous "Phytomonas" genus, despite it being a monoxenous parasite of the
