Phylogenomic analyses of malaria parasites and evolution of their exported proteins.

Phylogenomic analyses of malaria parasites and evolution of their exported proteins.

Abstract

Our phylogenomic analyses strongly support the hypotheses that the Laverania have been founded by a single Plasmodium species switching from birds to African great apes or vice versa. The deviations from the canonical PEXEL motif in orthologs may explain the comparably low number of exported proteins that have been predicted in non-Laverania.
