The plastid DNA of the malaria parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> is replicated by two mechanisms

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

In common with other apicomplexan parasites, Plasmodium falciparum, a causative organism of human malaria, harbours a residual plastid derived from an ancient secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of an alga. The function of the 35 kb plastid genome is unknown, but its evolutionary origin and genetic content make it a likely target for chemotherapy. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis and ionizing radiation have shown...
