Big bang in the evolution of extant malaria parasites.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2008

Hayakawa Toshiyuki, Culleton Richard, Otani Hiroto, Horii Toshihiro, Tanabe Kazuyuki

Abstract excerpt

Malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) infect all classes of terrestrial vertebrates and display host specificity in their infections. It is therefore assumed that malaria parasites coevolved intimately with their hosts. Here, we propose a novel scenario of malaria parasite-host coevolution. A phyl...
