Hi Jeff,
One way to graph the differences between the two years for the first set of
data is via barchart(), a function equivalent to barplot in the lattice
package.
Please check if with this portion of code (and with your data) the graph you
get is quite self-explanatory.

require(lattice)
Lines<-"Parasite Year Infected
Leukocytozoon 2009 0.2564
Plasmodium 2009 0.3846
Hemoproteus 2009 0.0769
Leukocytozoon 2010 0.0562
Plasmodium 2010 0.7079
Hemoproteus 2010 0.3034
Any 2009 0.5128
Any 2010 0.7753
"
DF <- read.table(textConnection(Lines), skip=1, as.is = TRUE,
col.names=c("Parasite", "Year", "Infected")
)
barchart(
Infected ~ Parasite, data=DF,
groups=as.factor(Year),
auto.key = list(space = "bottom"),
origin=0
)
