The global agenda for malaria eradication would benefit from development of a highly
efficacious vaccine that protects against disease and interrupts transmission of Plasmodium …

Eukaryotic pathogens must survive in different hosts, respond to changing environments,
and exploit specialized niches to propagate. Plasmodium parasites cause human malaria …

Recent sequencing of Plasmodium vivax field isolates and monkey-adapted strains enabled
characterization of SNPs throughout the genome. These analyses relied on map** short …

Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum merozoites is an essential step for parasite
survival and hence the pathogenesis of malaria. Invasion has been studied intensively, but …

Multiple interactions between parasite ligands and their receptors on the human erythrocyte
are a condition of successful Plasmodium falciparum invasion. The identification and …

Abs targeting blood-stage Ags of Plasmodium falciparum are important in acquired immunity
to malaria, but major targets remain unclear. The P. falciparum reticulocyte-binding …

Plasmodium falciparum genoty** has recently undergone a revolution, and genome‐wide
genotype datasets are now being collected for large numbers of parasite isolates. By …

Erythrocyte invasion is central to malaria parasite replication and virulence. Plasmodium
falciparum parasites use different alternative erythrocyte receptors and vary in expression of …

If copy number variants (CNVs) are predominantly deleterious, we would expect them to be
more efficiently purged from populations with a large effective population size (N e) than …

Emerging pathogens undermine initiatives to control the global health impact of infectious
diseases. Zoonotic malaria is no exception. Plasmodium knowlesi, a malaria parasite of …
