Almost 20 years have passed since the first reference genome assemblies were published
for Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, and Anopheles gambiae, the …

Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax account for more than 95% of all human
malaria infections, and thus pose a serious public health challenge. To control and …

Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives in southeast Asia threatens
malaria control and elimination activities worldwide. To monitor the spread of artemisinin …

A major obstacle to malaria elimination is the great capacity of the parasite and vector
populations to evolve in response to malaria control interventions. The widespread use of …

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites that proliferate in the bloodstream. During each
replication cycle, some parasites differentiate into gametocytes, the only forms able to infect …

Across diverse taxa, selfing species have evolved independently from outcrossing species
thousands of times. The transition from outcrossing to selfing decreases the effective …

In spite of the long‐term interest in the process of balancing selection, its frequency in
genomes and evolutionary significance remain unclear due to challenges related to its …

Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory Explore the fundamentals of the
biological implications of population genetic theory In the newly revised Second Edition of …

Protozoan Plasmodium parasites are the causative agents of malaria, a deadly disease that
continues to afflict hundreds of millions of people every year. Infections with malaria …

All the symptoms and pathology of malaria are caused by the intraerythrocytic stages of the
Plasmodium parasite life cycle. Because Plasmodium parasites cannot replicate outside a …
