Why Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum are so different? A tale of two clades and their species diversities

Ananias A. Escalante et al.

Summary: This study discusses the species diversity, phenotypic differences, molecular adaptations, and host-parasite biocenosis of malaria parasites in primates. It finds that malaria parasites can be divided into two subgenera, with Laverania containing the species including Plasmodium falciparum, and Plasmodium involving other species in Southeast Asia. Evaluating the origin of molecular traits in primate malaria clades has potential implications for interventions.

Molecular characterization of Polychromophilus parasites of Scotophilus kuhlii bats in Thailand

Chatree Chumnandee et al.

Summary: Polychromophilus parasites, exclusively found in bats, do not multiply in red blood cells and do not cause clinical symptoms of malaria. Studies on these parasites will contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of malaria parasites.

Population genomic evidence of Plasmodium vivax Southeast Asian origin

Josquin Daron et al.

Summary: The research suggests that Plasmodium vivax may have originated from a single area in Asia, and is closely related to P. vivax-like. By investigating genetic variations, notable geographical patterns were identified.

The apicoplast of Haemoproteus columbae: A comparative study of this organelle genome in Haemosporida

Axl S. Cepeda et al.

Summary: Apicomplexa is a phylum of parasitic protozoa, among which are the Haemosporida parasites that cause malaria. The apicoplast of these parasites is considered a target for malaria therapeutics due to its unique metabolic pathways. Comparative analysis of the Haemoproteus columbae apicoplast genome with other plastids showed similarities, suggesting conservation of apicoplast function across Haemosporida.
