TL;DR: A broadening of the altitudinal range and a new host for Plasmodium (Haemamoeba) lutzi in Colombia provides evidence for a broad host range for P. lutZI that include 2 different orders, Gruiformes and Passeriformes, and also altitudinal expansion of its distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population genetic structure of the Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein (Pvcsp) in Sri Lanka.
TL;DR: The CR domain of both VK210 and VK247 variants was under purifying selection interpreting the scarcity of CSP non-synonymous polymorphisms, and insights to the distribution of RATs in the CR region with geographic clustering of the P. vivax VK210 variant were revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of Leucocytozoon quynzae sp. nov. (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) from hummingbirds, with remarks on distribution and possible vectors of leucocytozoids in South America.
Nubia E. Matta,Ingrid A. Lotta,Gediminas Valkiūnas,Angie D. González,M. Andreína Pacheco,Ananias A. Escalante,Ligia I. Moncada,Oscar A. Rodríguez-Fandiño +7 more
TL;DR: Leucocy tozoon quynzae is the first leucocytozoid parasite described from South American birds; its transmission occurs both at low temperatures and high elevations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the spatial epidemiology of malaria in southern Venezuela from 2007 through 2017 and described the extent to which malaria distribution has changed countrywide over the recent years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for negative selection on the gene encoding rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1) in Plasmodium spp.
M. Andreína Pacheco,Elizabeth M. Ryan,Amanda Poe,Leonardo K. Basco,Venkatachalam Udhayakumar,Williams E. Collins,Ananias A. Escalante +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the genetic diversity of orthologous genes encoding the rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1), a low polymorphic protein of malarial parasites that is involved in erythrocyte invasion, found no evidence for natural selection, positive or negative, acting on the gene encoding R AP-1 in P. falciparum or P. vivax.
