摘要
The debate over whether the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum underwent a recent severe population bottleneck ("Malaria's Eve" hypothesis) has attracted great attention recently. Understanding the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of the parasite has practical implications for developing disease control measures.
