Single-nucleotide polymorphism, linkage disequilibrium and geographic structure in the malaria parasite <it>Plasmodium vivax</it>: prospects for genome-wide association studies

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ideal malaria parasite populations for initial mapping of genomic regions contributing to phenotypes such as drug resistance and virulence, through genome-wide association studies, are those with high genetic diversity, allowing...
