De Novo Assembly of Plasmodium knowlesi Genomes From Clinical Samples Explains the Counterintuitive Intrachromosomal Organization of Variant SICAvar and kir Multiple Gene Family Members

Plasmodium knowlesi, a malaria parasite of Old World macaque monkeys, is used extensively to model Plasmodium biology. Recently, P. knowlesi was found in the human population of Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia. P. knowlesi causes uncomplicated to severe and fatal malaria in the human host with...
