<i>Plasmodium vivax-like</i> genome sequences shed new insights into <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> biology and evolution

2017-10-18

Abstract excerpt

Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, Plasmodium vivax-like , was discovered in African great apes and is hypothesized to have given rise to P. vivax in humans. To unravel the evolutionary history and adaptation of P. vivax , we generated using long and short read s...
