Few Plasmodium falciparum merozoite ligand and erythrocyte receptor pairs show evidence of balancing selection
Erythrocyte surface proteins have been identified as receptors of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite proteins. The ligand-receptor interactions enable the parasite to invade human erythrocytes, initiating the clinical symptoms of malaria. These interactions are likely to have had an evolutionary impact...
