PLoS Genet
. 2021 Feb;
17(2):e1009269.
PMID: 33630855
Malaria remains a major public health problem in many countries. Unlike influenza and HIV, where diversity in immunodominant surface antigens is understood geographically to inform disease surveillance, relatively little is...

. 2020 May;
222(10):1692-1701.
PMID: 32459360
Background: The majority of Plasmodium falciparum infections, constituting the reservoir in all ages, are asymptomatic in high-transmission settings in Africa. The role of this reservoir in the evolution and spread...

PLoS Biol
. 2019 Jun;
17(6):e3000336.
PMID: 31233490
In their competition for hosts, parasites with antigens that are novel to the host immune system will be at a competitive advantage. The resulting frequency-dependent selection can structure parasite populations...
