Genomic insights into host shifts between <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> and <i>Plasmodium simium</i> in Latin America

2024-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax , but its lesser-known sister species, Plasmodium simium , has recently emerged from monkeys to infect humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By analyzing 719 monkey samples and whole genome variations for 19 P. simium and 408 P. vivax isolates, we investigated the evolutionary history and population genetics of the two species. P. vivax...
