Clonal Diversity of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium Mexicanum: Diversity Over Time and Space, and Effects on the Parasite’s Transmission, Infection Dynamics and Virulence
The biology of malaria parasites, Plasmodium spp., may be influenced by the presence of genetically distinct conspecific clones within a single infection, resulting in competition for host resources and transmission, and increased virulence for the vertebrate host. The extent of within host diver...
