African apes harbor at least twelve Plasmodium species, some of which have been a source
of human infection. It is now well established that Plasmodium falciparum emerged following …

During the last decade, the vast omics field has revolutionized biological research,
especially the genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics branches, as technological tools …

Host genetic factors can confer resistance against malaria, raising the question of whether
this has led to evolutionary adaptation of parasite populations. Here we searched for …

For reasons that remain unknown, the Plasmodium falciparum genome has an exceptionally
high AT content compared to other Plasmodium species and eukaryotes in general-nearly …

As many malaria-endemic countries move towards elimination of Plasmodium falciparum,
the most virulent human malaria parasite, effective tools for monitoring malaria epidemiology …

For countries aiming for malaria elimination, travel of infected individuals between endemic
areas undermines local interventions. Quantifying parasite importation has therefore …

Background Recent global progress in scaling up malaria control interventions has revived
the goal of complete elimination in many countries. Decreasing transmission intensity …

Locally varying selection on pathogens may be due to differences in drug pressure, host
immunity, transmission opportunities between hosts, or the intensity of between-genotype …

Multiple kelch13 alleles conferring artemisinin resistance (ART-R) are currently spreading
through Southeast Asian malaria parasite populations, providing a unique opportunity to …

Wild-living African apes are endemically infected with parasites that are closely related to
human Plasmodium vivax, a leading cause of malaria outside Africa. This finding suggests …
