Genomic insights into the other malaria

Nature Genetics volume 44, pages 962–963 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

Plasmodium vivax has received less attention and study than Plasmodium falciparum, due in part to difficulties in culturing this pathogen. Whole-genome sequencing of both P. vivax and Plasmodium cynomolgi and characterization of genetic variation in these species provide a genetic toolbox for tertian malaria and new insights into the monkey malaria clade.
