Background The ideal malaria parasite populations for initial mapping of genomic regions
contributing to phenotypes such as drug resistance and virulence, through genome-wide …

Background The Americas were the last continent colonized by humans carrying malaria
parasites. Plasmodium falciparum from the New World shows very little genetic diversity and …

To examine how community-level genetic diversity of the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax
varies across time and space, we investigated the dynamics of parasite polymorphisms …

Background Plasmodium vivax is a neglected human malaria parasite that causes
significant morbidity in the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, and the Western Pacific …

Background Malaria remains endemic in several countries of South America with low to
moderate transmission intensity. Regional human migration through underserved endemic …

Abstract Background Even though Plasmodium vivax has the widest worldwide distribution
of the human malaria species and imposes a serious impact on global public health, the …

Population genetic analysis of malaria parasites has the power to reveal key insights into
malaria epidemiology and transmission dynamics with the potential to deliver tools to …

Understanding the genetic structure of malaria parasites is essential to predict how fast
some phenotypes of interest originate and spread in populations. In the present study, we …

Background Although Plasmodium vivax contributes to almost half of all malaria cases
outside Africa, it has been relatively neglected compared to the more deadly P. falciparum. It …

Molecular approaches have an increasingly recognized utility in surveillance of malaria
parasite populations, not only in defining prevalence and incidence with higher sensitivity …
