The paper uses evolutionary rate covariation across malaria parasite species to infer protein interactions and identify new functional candidates.

The paper shows that HbS carriers have parasites with Pfsa+ alleles, suggesting these alleles may reduce symptomatic malaria in HbS carriers.

This paper identifies two genetically distinct Hepatocystis clades in wild primates using low coverage whole genome sequencing and describes candidate hypervariable loci potentially involved in immune evasion and host adaptation.
