Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium ovale curtisi (Poc) and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri (Pow) are relapsing malaria parasites endemic to Africa and Asia that were previously thought to represent a single species. Amid increasing detection of ovale malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, we present a population genomic study of both species across the continent. We conducted whole-genome sequencing of 25 isolates from Central and East Africa and...
