Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution.
Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P. vivax-like, was discovered in African great apes and is hypothesized to have given rise to P. vivax in humans. T...
