Genomic structure and diversity of Plasmodium falciparum in Southeast Asia reveal recent parasite migration patterns

Genomic structure and diversity of Plasmodium falciparum in Southeast Asia reveal recent parasite migration patterns

Understanding genomic variation in Plasmodium falciparum parasites and inferring migration patterns can guide malaria elimination strategies. Using genome-wide data for 1722 parasites collected from 54 districts, the authors use identity-by-descent approaches to estimate regional parasite migration...
