Host-mediated selection impacts the diversity of Plasmodium falciparum antigens within infections
Host immune responses exert selective pressure on Plasmodium falciparum. Here, the authors show that allele-specific immunity impacts the antigenic diversity of individual malaria infections. This process partially explains the extreme amino acid diversity of many parasite antigens and suggests that...
