Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium cynomolgi [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2016 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of different species of Plasmodium were aligned and analyzed to determine the molecular diversity among different species of Plasmodium. AT content of P. cynomolgi, P. ovale, P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae ranged from 62.30 to 63.15, 63.90 to 65.29, 66.67 to 68.40, 61.66 to 63.25 and 64.09 to 76.36 in case ...

Song sparrows Melospiza melodia have a home-field advantage in defending against sympatric malarial parasites [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Hosts and parasites interact on both evolutionary and ecological timescales. The outcome of these interactions, specifically whether hosts are more resistant to their local parasites (sympatric) than to parasites from another location (allopatric), is ...

Plasmodium-Host-Plasmodium interactions [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2010 Plasmodium passage through the skin followed by infection of liver hepatocytes and, later, of blood erythrocytes are natural and sequential steps of Plasmodium life cycle in the mammalian host and should not be seen as independent entities. Importantly, in regions of high malaria transmission, infected individuals are constantly exposed to potential re-
