The Plasmodium gaboni genome illuminates allelic dimorphism of immunologically important surface antigens in P. falciparum.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Dec 2015

Roy Scott William

Abstract excerpt

In the deadly human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, several major merozoite surface proteins (MSPs) show a striking pattern of allelic diversity called allelic dimorphism (AD). In AD, the vast majority of observed alleles fall into two highly divergent allelic classes, with recombinant alleles being rare or not observed, presumably due to repression by natural selection (recombination suppression, or RS)....
