Host: Katerina Artavanis-Tsakonas

Infectious diseases exert huge selective pressures on their hosts, generating an array of population genetic patterns. I am interested in what such patterns, in the genes of humans and other primates, can teach us about malaria. I will present evolutionary-epidemiological models of malaria infection blocking mutations, such as the mutation responsible for the Duffy negative blood group. I will discuss what the global distribution of these mutations may indicate about malaria parasites.
