Background Plasmodium vivax has the widest geographic distribution of the human malaria
parasites and nearly 2.5 billion people live at risk of infection. The control of P. vivax in …

The global malaria burden sometimes obscures that the genus Plasmodium comprises
diverse clades with lineages that independently gave origin to the extant human parasites …

Background Malaria was eliminated from southern and southeastern Brazil over 50 years
ago. However, an increasing number of autochthonous episodes attributed to Plasmodium …

Plasmodium vivax is a major public health burden, responsible for the majority of malaria
infections outside Africa. We explored the impact of demographic history and selective …

Haemosporidians are a diverse group of vector-borne parasitic protozoa that includes the
agents of human malaria; however, most of the described species are found in birds and …

The mass application of whole mitogenome (MG) sequencing has great potential for
resolving complex phylogeographic patterns that cannot be resolved by partial mitogenomic …

Malaria-causing protozoa of the genus Plasmodium have exerted one of the strongest
selective pressures on the human genome, and resistance alleles provide biomolecular …

We examined the mitogenomes of a large global collection of human malaria parasites to
explore how and when Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax entered the Americas. We …

Malaria has always been an important public health problem in Brazil. The early history of
Brazilian malaria and its control was powered by colonisation by Europeans and the forced …

Molecular epidemiology leverages genetic information to study the risk factors that affect the
frequency and distribution of malaria cases. This article describes molecular epidemiologic …
