Genetic evidence for contribution of human dispersal to the genetic diversity of EBA-175 in Plasmodium falciparum

BACKGROUND: The 175-kDa erythrocyte binding antigen (EBA-175) of Plasmodium falciparum plays a crucial role in merozoite invasion into human erythrocytes. EBA-175 is believed to have been under diversifying selection; however, there have been no studies investigating the effect of dispersal of human...
