Recombination and Diversification of the Variant Antigen Encoding Genes in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

Microbiology spectrum - 1 Dec 2014

Kirkman Laura A, Deitsch Kirk W

Abstract excerpt

The most severe form of human malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites invade and replicate within the circulating red blood cells of infected individuals leading to numerous disease manifestations, including severe anemia, altered circulation, and tissue inflammation. Malaria parasites are also known for their ability to maintain a chronic infection through antigenic...
