Protein-based signatures of functional evolution in Plasmodium falciparum. by Gardner, K, Sinha, I, Bustamante, L, Day, N, White, N, Woodrow, C

“…RESULTS: Evolutionary comparisons were undertaken using a set of forty P. falciparum metabolic enzyme genes, both within the hominid malaria clade (P. reichenowi) and across the genus (P. chabaudi). …”

Two nonrecombining sympatric forms of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium ovale occur globally. by Sutherland, C, Tanomsing, N, Nolder, D, Oguike, M, Jennison, C, Pukrittayakamee, S, Dolecek, C, Hien, T, do Rosário, V, Arez, A, Pinto, J, Michon, P, Escalante, A, Nosten, F, Burke, M, Lee, R, Blaze, M, Otto, T, Barnwell, J, Pain, A, Williams, J, White, N, Day, N, Snounou, G, Lockhart, P

“…Splitting of the 2 lineages is estimated to have occurred between 1.0 and 3.5 million years ago in hominid hosts. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that P. ovale comprises 2 nonrecombining species that are sympatric in Africa and Asia. …”
