Abstract “The Primate Malarias” book has been a uniquely important resource for multiple
generations of scientists, since its debut in 1971, and remains pertinent to the present day …

Over recent years, progress in molecular markers for genotyping malaria parasites has
enabled informative studies of epidemiology and transmission dynamics. Results have …

Malaria results in over 600,000 deaths annually, with the highest burden of deaths in young
children living in sub-Saharan Africa. Molecular surveillance can provide important …

Host-parasite interactions exert strong selection pressures on the genomes of both host and
parasite. These interactions can lead to negative frequency-dependent selection, a form of …

Background Genomic surveillance is crucial for monitoring malaria transmission and
understanding parasite adaptation to interventions. Zambia lacks prior nationwide efforts in …

Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent agent of human malaria, spread from Africa to all
continents following the out-of-Africa human migrations. During the transatlantic slave trade …

Memory B cells (MBCs) and plasma antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum (Pf)
merozoite antigens are important components of the protective immune response against …

The diversity of Plasmodium falciparum within human hosts requires parasite population
size be defined in terms of parasite variation rather than the number of infected hosts. To …

Malaria transmission and endemicity in Africa remains hugely disproportionate compared to
the rest of the world. The complex life cycle of P. falciparum (Pf) between the vertebrate …

Malaria is a global public health priority causing over 600,000 deaths annually, mostly
young children living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Molecular surveillance can provide key …
