Genomes of all known members of a <i>Plasmodium</i> subgenus reveal paths to virulent human malaria

2016-12-20

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent agent of human malaria, shares a recent common ancestor with the gorilla parasite P. praefalciparum. Little is known about the other gorilla and chimpanzee-infecting species in the same ( Laverania ) subgenus as P. falciparum but none of them are capable of establishing repeated infection and transmission in humans. To elucidate underlying mechanisms and the evolutionary...
