Antigenic Variation in Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Involves a Highly Structured Switching Pattern
Many pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa achieve chronic infection through an immune evasion strategy known as antigenic variation. In the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, this involves transcriptional switching among members of the var gene family, causing parasites with different...
