Malaria parasites : comparative genomics, evolution and molecular biology

Malaria parasites : comparative genomics, evolution and molecular biology / edited by Jane M. Carlton, Susan L. Perkins, Kirk W. Deitsch.

Since the publication of the first two Plasmodium genome sequences in 2002, numerous other parasite genomes have been sequenced. These include the genomes of several more Plasmodium species as well as those of other apicomplexans, including species of Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, Babesia, and Eimeri...
