The present study compares genetic structure from the plastid  rbc L, mitochondrial  cox 1, and nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences among 13 populations of  Gracilaria salicornia  and its red algal parasite,  G.  babae , in Malaysia. Owing to the unique biology of the red algal parasite, identical phylogeographies were inferred from the  rbc L and  cox 1 sequences in both  G .  babae  and its host,  G .  salicornia . Despite the low genetic variation,  rbc L and  cox 1 showed a concordant phylogeographic split that largely corresponds to Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia, except for a sample from East Malaysia that was consistently grouped with samples from the peninsula. On the other hand,  G .  salicornia  was separated from  G. babae  in the midpoint-rooted phylogeny inferred from ITS data despite the failure to retrieve the two taxa in reciprocal monophyly.  Gracilaria  salicornia  was less diverse and lacked apparent geographic structure. In contrast, the ITS data revealed considerable genetic diversity and fine-scale genetic structuring in  G .  babae  within Malaysian waters, probably as a result of adaptation to the local host population.
