A complete mitochondrial genome of a Roman-era <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2024-03-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Malaria has historically been one of the leading infection-related causes of death in human populations. To this day, it continues to pose a significant public health threat in African countries, particularly among children. Humans are affected by five Plasmodium species, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most lethal. The study of pathogenic DNA from ancient human remains has been vital in u...
