Climate variation influences host specificity in avian malaria parasites by Fecchio, A, Wells, K, Tkach, V, Lutz, H, Weckstein, J, Clegg, S, Clark, N

“…Using data on host associations for avian malaria parasites (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida), we develop a hierarchical model that quantifies this environmental dependency by partitioning host specificity variation into region- and parasite-level effects. …”

Genetic evaluation of the performance of malaria parasite clearance rate metrics. by Nkhoma, S, Stepniewska, K, Nair, S, Phyo, A, Mcgready, R, Nosten, F, Anderson, T

“…Accurate measurement of malaria parasite clearance rates (CRs) following artemisinin (ART) treatment is critical for resistance surveillance and research, and various CR metrics are currently used. …”

Inferring malaria parasite population structure from serological networks. by Buckee, C, Bull, P, Gupta, S

“…The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is characterized by high levels of genetic diversity at antigenic loci involved in virulence and immune evasion. …”

Association of malaria parasite population structure, HLA, and immunological antagonism. by Gilbert, S, Plebanski, M, Gupta, S, Morris, J, Cox, M, Aidoo, M, Kwiatkowski, D, Greenwood, B, Whittle, H, Hill, A

Selection for high and low virulence in the malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi. by Mackinnon, M, Read, A

“…Here we selected for high and low virulence within each of two clones of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi on the basis of between-host differences in a surrogate measure of virulence--loss of live weight post-infection. …”

Do malaria parasites mate non-randomly in the mosquito midgut?

“…Summary Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based genotyping of oocysts dissected from mosquito midguts has previously been used to investigate overall levels of inbreeding within malaria parasite populations. We present a re-analysis of the population structure of Plasmodium falciparum malaria using diploid genotypes at three antigen-encoding loci in 118 oocysts dissected from 34 mosquitoes. …”

Inferring malaria parasite population structure from serological networks by Buckee, C, Bull, P, Gupta, S

“…The malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is characterized by high levels of genetic diversity at antigenic loci involved in virulence and immune evasion. …”

Prospective identification of malaria parasite genes under balancing selection. by Tetteh, K, Stewart, L, Ochola, L, Amambua-Ngwa, A, Thomas, A, Marsh, K, Weedall, G, Conway, D

“…Several major antigen genes in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have shown such signatures in polymorphism-versus-divergence indices (comparing with the chimpanzee parasite P. reichenowi), and in allele frequency based indices. …”
