The evolutionary history of Plasmodium falciparum from mitochondrial and apicoplast genomes of China-Myanmar border isolates by Yini Tian, Run Ye, Dongmei Zhang, Yilong Zhang

“…Results Genetic differentiation based on mt/apico genome of P. falciparum revealed that the CMB (Lazan, Myanmar) isolates presented high genetic diversity with several characteristics of ancestral populations and shared many of the genetic features with West Thailand (Mae Sot; WTH) and to some extent West African (Banjul, Gambia; Navrongo, Ghana; WAF) isolates. The reconstructed haplotype network displayed that the CMB and WTH P. falciparum isolates have the highest representation (five) in the five ancestral (central) haplotypes (H1, H2, H4, H7, and H8), which are comparatively older than isolates from other SEA populations as well as the WAF populations. …”
