Pervasive adaptation in <i>Plasmodium</i> -interacting proteins in mammals

2016-10-16

Abstract excerpt

The protozoan genus Plasmodium causes malaria in dozens of mammal species, including humans, non-human primates, rodents, and bats. In humans, Plasmodium infections have caused hundreds of millions of documented deaths, imposing strong selection on certain populations and driving the emergence of several resistance alleles. Over the deep timescale of mammalian evolution, however, little is known about host adapt...
