Rapid antigen diversification through mitotic recombination in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria parasites possess the remarkable ability to maintain chronic infections that fail to elicit a protective immune response, characteristics that have stymied vaccine development and cause people living in endemic regions to remain at risk of malaria despite previous exposure to the disease. Th...
