Plasmodium cynomolgi genome sequences provide insight into Plasmodium vivax and the monkey malaria clade
3 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Jane Carlton, Kazuyuki Tanabe and colleagues report the draft genome sequences of three Plasmodium cynomolgi strains isolated from infected monkeys. Their comparative genomic analysis with P. vivax and P. knowlesi offers insights into these simian malaria parasites. P. cynomolgi, a malaria-causing parasite of Asian Old World monkeys, is the sister taxon of P. vivax, the most prevalent malaria-causing species in...
