Evolution of transcriptional control of antigenic variation and virulence in human and ape malaria parasites
BACKGROUND: The most severe form of human malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum. This unicellular organism is a member of a subgenus of Plasmodium called the Laverania that infects apes, with P. falciparum being the only member that infects humans. The exceptional virulen...
