Abstract
A genetic study of the malaria parasite finds that this species is unexpectedly diverse. A second study shows multiple independent origins of mutations in one parasite gene that confer resistance to a widely used drug.
Understanding genetic variation in the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is of major importance to public health, especially as we contemplate widespread programmes of vaccination. If a vaccine controls only part of the P. falciparum
