Genetic characterization of Hawaiian isolates of Plasmodium relictum reveals mixed-genotype infections

BACKGROUND: The relatively recent introduction of a highly efficient mosquito vector and an avian pathogen (Plasmodium relictum) to an isolated island ecosystem with naïve, highly susceptible avian hosts provides a unique opportunity to investigate evolution of virulence in a natural system. Mixed i...
