Patterns of co-speciation and host switching in primate malaria parasites

22 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The evolutionary history of many parasites is dependent on the evolution of their hosts, leading to an association between host and parasite phylogenies. However, frequent host switches across broad phylogenetic distances may weaken this close evolutionary link, especially when vectors are involved in parasites transmission, as is the case for malaria pathogens. Several studies suggested that the...
