Diversifying selection on the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) gene of Plasmodium falciparum in Thailand.

Diversifying selection on the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) gene of Plasmodium falciparum in Thailand.

Sporozoites of Plasmodium falciparum are transmitted to human hosts by Anopheles mosquitoes. Thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) is expressed in sporozoites and plays a crucial role in sporozoite gliding and invasion of human hepatocytes. A previous study showed that the TRAP gene has bee...
