Elusive <i>Plasmodium</i> Species Complete the Human Malaria Genome Set

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Despite the huge international endeavor to understand the genomic basis of malaria biology, there remains a lack of information about two human-infective species: Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale . The former is prevalent across all malaria endemic regions and able to recrudesce decades after the initial infection. The latter is a dormant stage hypnozoite-forming species, similar to P. vivax ....
