The paper analyzes genomic variation in Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates during culture adaptation, finding that some isolates fix to single genotypes while others retain diversity, with loss-of-function mutants emerging in multiple-genotype infections.

The paper analyzes transcriptomes of Plasmodium falciparum isolates to identify genes correlated with variable MSPDBL2 expression in schizonts.

This study measures sexual commitment rates in Plasmodium falciparum using two methods, finds higher sensitivity with an early marker, and reports variation across isolates and lab lines.

The paper shows that variation in the multiplication rate of Plasmodium falciparum correlates with infection intensity and virulence in human malaria.

This paper uses multi-locus genotyping to show that Plasmodium vivax in Mauritania is genetically diverse and endemic, with no evidence of recent introduction or epidemic structure.

The paper analyzes transcriptome variation in Plasmodium falciparum schizonts across clinical isolates and lab-adapted clones using RNA-seq, identifying genes with differential expression and validating findings with RT-qPCR.
