Population Genomic Structure and Recent Evolution of Plasmodium knowlesi, Peninsular Malaysia

Most malaria in Malaysia is caused by Plasmodium knowlesi parasites through zoonotic infection from macaque reservoir hosts. We obtained genome sequences from 28 clinical infections in Peninsular Malaysia to clarify the emerging parasite population structure and test for evidence of recent adaptatio...
