Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in malaria parasites is not constrained by previous responses to environmental change
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Phenotypic plasticity enables organisms to maximize fitness by matching trait values to different environments. Such adaptive phenotypic plasticity is exhibited by parasites, which experience frequent environmental changes during their life cycle, between individual hosts...
