Evolutionary history of human Plasmodium vivax revealed by genome-wide analyses of related ape parasites
20 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Significance Chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas harbor close relatives of human Plasmodium vivax , but current knowledge of these parasites is limited to a small number of gene fragments derived almost exclusively from mitochondrial DNA. We compared nearly full-length genomes of ape parasites with a global sample of human P. vivax and tested the function of human and ape P. vivax proteins believed to be important...
