Plasmodium falciparum Genetic Diversity in Coincident Human and Mosquito Hosts

Plasmodium falciparum Genetic Diversity in Coincident Human and Mosquito Hosts

ABSTRACT Population genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum antigenic loci is high despite large bottlenecks in population size during the parasite life cycle. The prevalence of genetically distinct haplotypes at these loci, while well characterized in humans, has not been thoroughly compared bet...
