Still Waters Posted May 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The secrets of how malaria became a human-killer have been revealed by a genetic study. The work, led by researchers from Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge, compared seven types of malaria - tracing the parasite's family tree. This revealed that, about 50,000 years ago, the parasites diverged, with one "branch" evolving into the most deadly human-infecting species. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-44146321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
