Complete avian malaria parasite genomes reveal features associated with lineage specific evolution in birds and mammals

2016-11-08

Abstract excerpt

Avian malaria parasites are prevalent around the world, and infect a wide diversity of bird species. Here we report the sequencing and analysis of high quality draft genome sequences for two avian malaria species, Plasmodium relictum and Plasmodium gallinaceum . We identify 50 genes that are specific to avian malaria, located in an otherwise conserved core of the genome that shares gene synteny with all other se...
