Co-transmission of Related Malaria Parasite Lineages Shapes Within-Host Parasite Diversity

Cell Host and Microbe, Volume 27, No. 1, Year 2020

In high-transmission regions, malaria infections are expected to comprise unrelated parasite lineages due to parasite inoculations from different mosquitoes. Using single-cell genome sequencing, Nkhoma et al. find parasite lineages within infections to be closely related, indicating that co-transmission predominantly shapes within-host malaria parasite diversity.
