Intrinsic multiplication rate variation and plasticity of human blood stage malaria parasites
2020-07-14
Abstract excerpt
Pathogen multiplication rate is theoretically an important determinant of virulence, although often poorly understood. We show intrinsic multiplication rate variation of the major human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to be associated with blood-stage infection intensity. A panel of clinical isolates from a highly endemic West African population was analysed repeatedly during five months of continuous cult...
