Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale genomes provide insights into malaria parasite evolution

Abstract excerpt

The genome sequences of the neglected human-infective malaria species Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale provide new insights into their biology that are pertinent to understanding their epidemiology and to the broader agenda of malaria elimination. Thomas Otto, Matthew Berriman and colleagues report the genome sequences of Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale, two of the malaria parasites that infect humans. These...
