Species introductions are a dominant component of biodiversity change but are not explicitly
included in most discussions of biodiversity–disease relationships. This is a major oversight …

In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in the
Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to understanding …

Antimalarial drug resistance has historically arisen through convergent de novo mutations in
Plasmodium falciparum parasite populations in Southeast Asia and South America. For the …

Malaria-causing protozoa of the genus Plasmodium have exerted one of the strongest
selective pressures on the human genome, and resistance alleles provide biomolecular …

We examined the mitogenomes of a large global collection of human malaria parasites to
explore how and when Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax entered the Americas. We …

Interactions between the Anopheles mosquito vector and Plasmodium parasites shape how
malaria is transmitted in endemic regions. The long association of these two organisms has …

Controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) by mosquito bite has been used to assess anti-
malaria interventions in> 1,500 volunteers since development of methods for infecting …

It is supposed that in all armed conflicts until World War II more humans died of infectious
diseases than of the actual violence. Especially malaria left a crucial imprint on wars …

Inferences about introduction histories of invasive species remain challenging because of
the stochastic demographic processes involved. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) …

Anopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a
million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged …
