This study analyzes genome-wide polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum isolates to investigate its invasion history and adaptive responses in the Americas.

The paper analyzes global P. vivax genetic variation to determine its origin, finding evidence supporting a Southeast Asian origin through serial founder effects.

The paper investigates Wolbachia infection prevalence and diversity in 25 African Anopheles species, finding Wolbachia in 16 species, including major malaria vectors.

The paper generates P. vivax-like genome sequences to study the evolutionary history of P. vivax, finding genetic diversity and clade separation.

The paper sequenced genomes of all known Laverania Plasmodium species to understand evolutionary mechanisms and identify features enabling P. falciparum's virulence in humans.
