Plasmodium vinckei genomes provide insights into the pan-genome and evolution of rodent malaria parasites
Abstract Background Rodent malaria parasites (RMPs) serve as tractable tools to study malaria parasite biology and host-parasite-vector interactions. Among the four RMPs originally collected from wild thicket rats in sub-Saharan Central Africa and adapted to laboratory mice, Plasmodium vinckei is th...
