"Sexual" population structure and genetics of the malaria agent P. falciparum.

PloS one - 18 Jul 2007

Mzilahowa Themba, McCall Philip J, Hastings Ian M

Abstract excerpt

The population genetics and structure of P. falciparum determine the rate at which malaria evolves in response to interventions such as drugs and vaccines. This has been the source of considerable recent controversy, but here we demonstrate the organism to be essentially sexual, in an area of moderately high transmission in the Lower Shire Valley, Malawi. Seven thousand mosquitoes were collected and dissected,...
